Located 50 mi/80 km southeast of Amsterdam, Arnhem, also previously called the Green City on the Rhine, is better known to World War II veterans as the city of A Bridge Too Far. (The film depicts an attempt by Allied paratroopers to gain a foothold across the Rhine near Arnhem.)
While in town, see the Netherlands Open Air Museum. Art lovers and nature lovers will want to visit De Hoge Veluwe. Arnhem rates a half-day visit, but add more time if you want to see the Airborne Museum, in nearby Grote Hartensteyn, or medieval Doorwerth Castle.
