Location, Getting There, and Getting Around
The province of Gelderland is located in the central-eastern part of the Netherlands, bordering Germany. Since the province is so large, many areas and towns are not well connected, so the best way to get around is by car. Therefore, when you arrive in the Netherlands, it is advisable to rent a car at the airport and head to your first chosen destination in Gelderland.
