Düsseldorf
The Rhineland way of life, blending tradition and modernity—Düsseldorf captivates with its diversity! Art and culture lovers are just as enthralled here as shopping enthusiasts; the Media Harbor impresses with its contemporary architecture, as does the historic Old Town. With more than 250 cozy pubs, the Old Town makes Düsseldorf the “longest bar in the world.” And it’s not just the traditional Altbier that tastes great there! Don’t miss a stroll down Königsallee, the world-famous shopping boulevard—or perhaps you’d prefer a visit to one of the many charming flea markets? And right in the middle of it all: plenty of green space and the Rhine with its riverside promenade, perfect for taking a deep breath. No wonder the VIVA family feels right at home here!
Netherlands
Nijmegen
The oldest city in the Netherlands exudes traditional Dutch charm with its gabled cottages, small cheese shops, and delicacies on the “Grote Markt.” In the narrow alleys, the past and present go hand in hand. That’s why a visit to the Gothic St. Stevenskerk, including its crypt, as well as a stroll down the shopping street “Lange Hezelstraat,” should be on your sightseeing itinerary. Afterward, there’s no better way to take a break than with some freshly fried kibbelingen in Kronenburgerpark during the winter months.
Netherlands
Maastricht
Maastricht is a university town in the far south of the Netherlands. The city is known for its medieval architecture and vibrant cultural scene. The cobblestone-paved Old Town is home to the Gothic St. John’s Church (Sint Janskerk) and the Romanesque St. Servatius Basilica, with its significant collection of sacred art. On the banks of the Meuse River, which flows through the city center, stands the futuristic Bonnefanten Museum of Fine Arts.
Netherlands
Roermond
Roermond is a city and municipality with a population of 58,806 in the Dutch province of Limburg, located on the border with Germany and near Belgium. Roermond is best known for its Designer Outlet Center, which offers a wide range of special discounts on exclusive brands and select clothing. The downtown area of Roermond is directly adjacent to the outlet center. Here, you can take a leisurely stroll among small boutiques and quaint cafés.
Netherlands
Venlo
Next to Roermond is the city of Venlo, which has 101,984 citizens, almost twice as many inhabitants as the neighboring city. Small stores within the center are perfect for a shopping trip. If you are looking for art and culture, you should visit the Limburg Museum, which tells a lot about the people of Limburg and the culture. Another point of reference is the Oude Markt in downtown Venlo, where you can find many restaurants that are especially recommended if you crave a delicious wine in the sunny Netherlands. .

Netherlands
Gorinchem
Gorinchem is a true bastion town. On a walk through the city, you’ll discover the many ramparts that have been preserved to this day and can be viewed perfectly from the walking path. Although many historic structures have been preserved, only one of the four city gates originally built remains—the Dalempoort. In addition to the remaining fortifications, Gorinchem offers many other attractions—such as the La Caponnière wine and tasting room, the Tolhuis (meaning “customs house”), and the De Hoop windmill—that make a visit to Gorinchem well worth your while.
Netherlands
Dordrecht
Thanks to its location on the water, the Dutch city of Dordrecht is a former trading city. This history is still evident in the city today—whether in the historic downtown, at the harbor, or in one of its many museums. Also worth seeing are the “Grote Kerk” and the 13th-century Augustinian monastery. A stroll through Dordrecht is the best way to discover the town’s history.

You should definitely take advantage of your stopover in Utrecht to explore this beautiful Dutch city at your leisure.Whether you visit the famous Centraal Museum of Ancient and Modern Art or prefer to discover the provincial capital from the water on a leisurely canal cruise—the historic architecture and the many lovingly restored houses are sure to delight you. Right in the heart of the city, the 112-meter-tall Utrecht Cathedral stands as an unmissable landmark. Built between 1321 and 1382, it is considered the oldest and tallest church tower in the Netherlands. If you climb the 465 steps, you’ll be rewarded with a fantastic view.If you prefer a more leisurely pace, simply take a pleasant stroll through the narrow streets and typical Dutch courtyards for which Utrecht is famous. Or how about a visit to the colorful flower market? Utrecht is always worth a visit.
