The city is surrounded by two of the Netherlands biggest national parks: De Hoge Veluwe and Veluwe Zoom; we highly recommend visiting these parks during your stay.

The local delicacy to try (apart from the famous dutch Stroopwafels) are ‘Arnhemse Meisjes’. Which are crunchy oval biscuits made from yeast dough with a generous sprinkling of sugar.
