Arnhem

Due to its participation in the catastrophic allied operation known as Market Garden, Arnhem earned its place in the annals of war. Intense fighting between British paratroopers and German defenders occurred near the city's significant Rhine River bridge in 1944, leaving behind scars that may still be seen today.

But there's much more to this than just replicating the drama from the well-known A Bridge Too Far film. The city's roots may actually be traced back to pre-Roman times, and during the Middle Ages, it grew in importance as a center of trade and commerce. In addition to its many charming historic streets and squares filled with boutique stores and cafés, Arnhem is still a bustling city that visitors may explore. It is also the location of many exciting cultural and adventure opportunities. The greatest of them is the excellent Netherlands Open Air Museum, which showcases traditional Dutch lifestyles and ways of life, and Hoge Veluwe National Park, the nation's largest conservation area, with its countless chances for outdoor pursuits.
