Eastern Netherlands What to Expect

Apeldoorn is the pearl of the Veluwe area of the Netherlands. Although the city centre is quite ugly (as architecture fan), there are some nice areas. Besides there is "Het Loo" a royal palace of the Dutch Royal family as well as the "apenheul" (monkey zoo) and the kids theme parc "Julianatoren".

Apeldoorn. This is very fun for parents with kids.
Try and go to the "Apenheul" Sounds weird in english, but it is a park for Monkeys, Aap means monkey in dutch. (so that you know) Anyways, Apenheul is a park where 50% of the monkeys walk free. So they can crawl up your hat and stuff. Very cool place to see at least once. If you're done with that. Take the kids to the "Julianatoren". It's like a very big playground for kids.

The best place in Ede is next to me on my couch!

Just kidding, although it's very comfertable you should go to cafe Flannigans!

Of just take a long walk through the forests!

In December there is a Charles Dickens festival. The streets are decorated and people walk around in 1800's English dress. There are musicians playing music, sidewalk vendors for food and art, and there is even a horse-drawn carriage ride for children.
