Welcome to Apeldoorn: Apeldoorn is located in the middle of National Park the Veluwe;
one of the most beautiful National Parks in The Netherlands. Apeldoorn has 155.000
citizens and belongs to the top ten cities of The Netherlands. But Apeldoorn is different,
not many cities have so much space or such a relaxed atmosphere. The woody
environment gives the city its own image. When you go through the streets, nature will
surround you. Beautiful gardens and city parks brighten up both the city centre and the
neighbourhoods with green colours. The historical buildings are giving Apeldoorn even
more appeal.
Apeldoorn has a lot of things that are worth a visit. For example Apenheul, it’s the only
zoo in the world where 30 different kind of monkeys live freely in the forest. Or visit the
museum Paleis Het Loo, the former summer residency of the Dutch Royal family. It
makes you feel royal even walking through it. Third on the list is a visit to Julianatoren, a
great leisure park suited for young and old. Apeldoorn has it all, a modern city centre
with some pleasant shops and dining options, culture treasure’s and beautiful nature.
