About

Diese historische Stadt in den östlichen Niederlanden verbindet nahtlos ein reiches Kriegserbe mit modernem Stadtleben. Besuchen Sie das renommierte Kröller-Müller Museum mit seiner Weltklasse-Van Gogh-Sammlung oder erkunden Sie die bewegenden Stätten, die an die berühmte Schlacht von Arnhem aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg erinnern. Der nahegelegene Hoge Veluwe National Park bietet atemberaubende Naturlandschaften nur wenige Minuten vom Stadtzentrum entfernt.

Arnhem is a city in the eastern Netherlands, where wartime history sits alongside a lively modern urban life. It makes a good stop for visitors interested in history, art and the outdoors, and it is easy to reach from the rest of the country.

History and remembrance

Arnhem is closely tied to the Battle of Arnhem during the Second World War, and the city has a number of sites that commemorate it. Visiting them offers a quiet, reflective side to the city, and they are worth making time for if you want to understand what happened here and how the city remembers it.

Art and nature

The Kröller-Müller Museum is the main draw for many visitors. It holds a well-known collection that includes works by Van Gogh, and it is a place where art lovers can spend a full afternoon. Nearby, the Hoge Veluwe National Park offers wide natural landscapes just a short distance from the city centre, so it is possible to combine a museum visit with time outdoors on the same day.

Planning your visit

  • Allow time for the museum and the commemorative sites, which suit a half-day or full-day visit.

  • Pair the city with the national park if you enjoy walking, cycling or simply being in open countryside.

  • Arnhem works well as a base for exploring the surrounding area of the Veluwe.

Whether you come for the art, the history or the landscape, Arnhem offers a balanced visit that suits a short trip well.
