Things to do in Venlo

Venlo is located in the southeastern Netherlands close to the German border, situated in the province of Limburg. The modern city was largely rebuilt after the bombing and demolition from the Second World War.

Explore Venlo’s historic buildings, discover the origins that date back to the Romans and visit one of the Netherlands best theme parks at Toverland.

Experience Venlo’s culture at Limburgs Museum holding a collection of artefacts from the Neolithic onwards and folklore items. See the Museum van Bommel van Dam’s collection of modern art with exhibitions from paintings or drawings to sculpture and photography.

Find town hall in the city's center, built on the marketplace in the Renaissance Style. Stop at the local street cafes and sip on coffee or a glass of rosé. Then, step inside Sint Martinusbasiliek, originally built from timber in the 1400’s, housing a row of Gothic sculptures including the 'black Madonna of Venlo'.
