one of the most beautiful National Parks in The Netherlands. Apeldoorn has 155.000

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.

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
