    If you liked Venlo definetly also visit Maastricht. This beautiful city is the biggest in Limburg. It is so beautiful and historic! It is also split in two by de Maas river just like Venlo.

    We were in Venlo for a few days in a B&B when Floriade was there. Enjoyed Venlo and Floriade very much. Hi from Canada.

      You came her only to see the Floriade? 🤣
      I live in Venlo.
      They expected "millions" of people from all over the world coming by plane.
      They even built a small airfield for that.
      And a highway, decades in the planning, suddenly got finished to get these "millions"
      The Floriade was a major financial fiasco though.

    Born and raised in this beautiful old city. Pity though that you only visited the city center, 'cause the whole municipality has 2 more city parts (Tegelen in the south and Blerick on the other side of the Maas river), and then a few villages: Belfeld, south of Tegelen, Hout-Blerick and Boekend around Blerick, and (from north to south) Arcen, Lomm and Velden north of Venlo. Arcen is actually a well-known tourist place throughout the Netherlands, Tegelen even has an archeological era named after itself: Tiglien, and then there is an archeological dig just across the Maas river that shows the excavation of a real renaissance fort (built in 1641-1643), including a museum: Fort Museum Venlo!
    You should definitely come back one day, to see the other parts of this great place.

      Oh, interesting! I love visiting Ancient sites, I think it's fascinating. Of course, knowing now that Venlo is one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands, I won't be surprised to find a lot of these things. It's my first time in Limburgh and will definitely tyr to come back :)

      @@TheTravellingFoxes About 25km south of Venlo is Roermond which I consider way more beautiful than Venlo even though it has only 60.000 inhabitants. Also: if you like shopping there's one of the largest Outlets of Europe (visited by 6 million people a year).By train it's less than 2 hours from Amsterdam (direct connection, even though it is a little further). I think Roermond is the second most beautiful city of Limburg after Maastricht. Lots of very old buildings and also located at the river Maas. Venlo got "city rights" in 1343, Roermond in 1231 and Maastricht even a few decades earlier. So both Maastricht and Roermond are among the oldest cities in the country.
