Venlo lies on the Netherlands/German border in the south east of the country and was once an important trading town. Much of the city's historic old town was destroyed during WWII, but there are still a few remaining buildings you can visit today, including the City Hall and Romer House, both of which date back to at least 1520. Art lovers can look forward to a treat at the Museum van Bommel van Dam, which is the Dutch Museum of Modern Art, while the Limburg's Museum of Natural History has many educational interactive exhibits for all ages. For some outdoor exercise you can go hiking, walking, or cycling in the National Park de Groote Peel and enjoy wildlife watching in the National Park Maasduinen.
