Did you know that Gelderland is the largest province in the Netherlands and home to Nijmegen, the country’s oldest city? Book a B&B Gelderland and discover a region rich in natural areas, historic towns, and a wide range of activities to suit all tastes.
Charming Towns and Cities
Arnhem and Nijmegen are the two main cities in the province where you can book your Gelderland B&B. While Arnhem is the capital, known for its tragic events during World War II, Nijmegen holds the title of the oldest city in the country. Beyond these two beautiful cities, don’t miss the famous Hanseatic towns like Doesburg and Zutphen, filled with historic buildings. You should also visit Bronckhorst, the smallest city in the Netherlands, and the picturesque village of Buren.
Nature in Gelderland
Gelderland offers an impressive variety of landscapes, ranging from the famous Veluwe dunes to the fruit trees of Betuwe. If you love nature and enjoy hiking or cycling, De Hoge Veluwe National Park is the perfect choice for you, where you can enjoy landscapes and wildlife in their natural habitat.
A Land of Farms and Castles
In Achterhoek, like a scene from a fairy tale, farms dot the fields of Gelderland, and behind the hedgerows are castles and estates steeped in history. Ruurlo Castle, in the municipality of Zutphen, is one of the most beautiful, as is Huis Bergh Castle, with its wonderful gardens. Don’t miss the castle tour in Vorden, which you can do by bike. Additionally, many of the farms are bed and breakfasts where you can stay and feel like you're living in a fairy tale.
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.
