Arnhem is a delightful old town located on the site of a previous Roman settlement. The town provides an ideal springboard for exploring the Gelderland province and has a lot of history to showcase. You can start by visiting some of the area's most interesting museums such as the Netherlands Open Air Museum (showcasing Dutch history), the Airborne Museum Hartenstein (to learn about the WWII Battle of Arnhem), the Kroller Muller Museum (van Gogh and a sculpture garden), and the Wine Museum. You can get outdoors and active in the National Park de Hoge Veluwe, where you can explore by free-to-use bicycles. Arnhem also has a very interesting old city center that you can tour on foot to see several examples of 15th century architecture and parts of the old town walls.
