Landgraaf is a town in the southeastern Netherlands, in the province of Limburg. It is a place many visitors come to for one of two reasons: its zoo or its music festival.
What draws visitors
- GaiaZOO, a zoo known for its innovative animal habitats and its conservation programmes. It is a natural choice for families and anyone interested in how animals are kept and protected.
- Pinkpop Festival, one of the longest-running annual music festivals in the world. It brings international artists and music fans to the town.
Around the town
Landgraaf sits in the scenic Limburg countryside, so a visit fits well with a day or two of walking, cycling or simply enjoying the green landscape that surrounds the town. The region is a pleasant base for exploring the southeast of the Netherlands at an easy pace.
If you are planning a trip, check the zoo's and the festival's own information for current opening times, tickets and dates before you travel, as these can change from year to year.
