Venlo is a charming city located in the southeastern part of the Netherlands, near the German border. A city thriving with life and culture, Venlo is renowned for its Museum van Bommel van Dam, which features an expansive collection of modern art, and the impressive St. Martinus Church that provides a glimpse into its rich history. Venlo is also well-regarded for its yearly Carnaval celebrations, one of the largest in the Netherlands. Visitors will enjoy the scenic stroll along the Meuse River and relish in the vibrant atmosphere of the city's central market square, dominated by the historic City Hall. Furthermore, the city is deeply rooted in sustainability as it embraces "cradle to cradle" principles, making it a magnet for green tourism.

Nestled in the heart of northwestern Europe, the Netherlands is renowned for its vast array of cultural and natural treasures. The country, also known as Holland, is known for being incredibly flat, with large portions of land sitting below sea level. This pan-flat landscape is speckled with charming windmills, tulip fields that burst into color in spring, and iconic cities lined with gabled houses. The Netherlands is recognized worldwide for its leading role in the arts, boasting the birthplace of celebrated painters like Van Gogh and Rembrandt, and home to numerous world-class museums. Don't miss exploring the Venice-like canals of Amsterdam, cycling around The Hague, or indulging in Dutch delicacies such as Gouda cheese and Stroopwafels. One can also expect a warm welcome, with the Dutch often known for their tolerance and liberalism.

Despite these varying advisories, it is important to stay vigilant, stay informed about the local situation, and follow the guidance of local authorities.

Hı travellers! I go to the Venlo today and I want to share my experience. First of all I went it with train and it tooks 1.5 hours from Düsseldorf. But unfortunately train is so old and many people has to go stand up. The museum was good but it is expensive for students. In the center i tookba coffee and rest a little bit. I must say Venlo is not crowded and you can travel the whe city in one day!
