Fancy taking off for a weekend? These are seven places that are perfect for a complete weekend away in spring.
De Veluwe
🏞️ De Veluwe is a paradise for nature lovers. Vast forests, heathlands and sand drifts make it the place to walk and cycle. Visit National Park De Hoge Veluwe, the Kröller-Müller Museum or settle down in one of the charming villages in the region. Discover De Veluwe in an original way with a fatbike tour, climb to one of the most beautiful lookout towers on De Veluwe for a panoramic view over the landscape or try something new and rent an e-scooter bike for a sporty ride with a twist.
Maastricht
🍻 In Maastricht, a relaxed, Burgundian atmosphere hangs in the air in spring. The terraces on Vrijthof slowly fill up, the historic streets invite endless strolling and it's wonderful to walk along the Maas. Don't forget the caves either for a special outing or visit the Museum of Illusions, where optical illusions will fool your senses! Happen to be a craft beer lover? Then book a tour through the historic Brouwerij Bosch and taste the authentic Maastricht beer.
The Wadden Islands
🏝️ Whether you choose Texel, Vlieland, Ameland, Terschelling or Schiermonnikoog: a weekend on the Wadden Islands feels like a mini-vacation. Hop on your bike and enjoy the vast beaches, picturesque villages and the fresh sea air with beautiful cycling tours. For real daredevils there's the possibility to parachute jump above the islands, a special way to admire the Wadden Sea area. If you prefer something more relaxing you can go horseback riding on the beach, with views of the dunes and the sea.
Zeeland
🌊 For sea, space and tranquility you're in the right place in Zeeland. Cities like Middelburg and Vlissingen offer cozy terraces and beautiful monuments, while along the coast you can walk or cycle endlessly. An oyster tasting shouldn't be missed of course or visit the Liberation Museum to learn more about Zeeland's role in World War II. Want a game full of action and teamwork? Then go to Prison Island in Middelburg. For families Het Klok'uus is a lovely place with indoor and outdoor activities, farm golf and more

For an exciting group outing, play the WhatsApp murder game and solve a mystery in the beautiful city center.
