The Lower Rhine covers the regions of North Limburg, North-Eastern Brabant, Veluwe, Arnhem and Nijmegen in Holland and the German Niederrhein with towns such as Kleve, Xanten, Neuss, Duisburg and Krefeld. Need a Cool Break?
Amidst a backdrop of stunning landscapes, the Lower Rhine is the perfect setting for an array of indoor and outdoor activities, including skiing, cycling, hiking, water-skiing, diving and surfing. For those seeking a more relaxing break, visitors can enjoy one of the steaming outdoor thermal baths or stay in royal splendour at one of the many magnificent castles.
Four top tips
1) Stylish Shopping: Go designer shopping in Arnhem, boutique shopping in Venlo and Tiel, explore the Designer Outlet in Roermond or the new City Palais shopping mall in Duisburg. Visit the world's largest outdoor fashion show every September in Krefeld and see the latest designer collections.
2) Culture: Stay in a castle, such as the Jachslot Mookerheide in Moelenhoek or Wissen castle in Weeze. Discover the Roman history of the region at the Xanten Archaeology Park and for art, visit the Kroller Muller Museum in the Veluwe or Castle Moyland in Bedburg Hau.
3) Wellness: Try the Scandic Sanadome in Nijmegen where the pools are filled with mineral-rich thermal water from the hotel's own springs or step across the border to Germany and visit Asia Therme where they use techniques from the Far East.
4) Get Active: Hit the slopes at the Ski Hall in Neuss with its perfect powder snow and slopes for all levels of ability. Visit the Gasometer dive centre in Duisburg and take a dive in the largest indoor dive centre in Europe or for water sports, Freizeitzentrum Xanten, which offers sailing, water skiing, surfing and canoe or raft trips.
