The north of the province of Limburg is the perfect destination for a weekend away or a longer stay. Go on bicycle tours, visit castles and shop! 

Enjoy the rural atmosphere of this lovely region of North Limburg, where nature seems to be waiting just for you. There are also plenty of cultural activities. Visit castles, explore lovely towns such as Venlo, or cross the border into Germany.

The Meuse River played a big role in the region's prosperity. The region’s strategic proximity to both the German and Belgian borders means that it has changed hands many a time. The result: loads of historic buildings and castles well worth visiting.

Indeed, one of North Limburg's biggest attractions is its castles and nature. Hop on a bicycle and explore the National Park De Maasduinen, or visit the gardens at Arcen Castle. The estate has countless gardens, including a rose garden, water garden and a leafy garden.

Venlo is also worth visiting. It’s a great place for shopping and Nolensplein has a Saturday market where you can taste local delicacies.

North Limburg is close to the German border and Düsseldorf just a 45-minute drive away. Explore the 'Altstadt' (the old part of the city), climb the Rheinturm and shop on Düsseldorf's high-end shopping street, Köningsallee.

The best way of enjoying everything North Limburg has to offer is by bicycle or on foot. Enjoy the rolling hills, the fens and the woods and stop for a cup of coffee or a pint. Longer distances, such as a trip to Germany, are best travelled by car.

If you're travelling by public transport, get off the train in Venlo or Roermond and continue to your destination by bus. North Limburg is also very easy to reach by car and you can park in most places for free.

Recharge your batteries in this lovely part of Limburg. Whether you're planning a weekend away or are looking for a lovely destination for a longer holiday, you will love North Limburg.
