Enjoying the Maas
Venlo is a city on the Maas, which is why the city has not one but two harbors for recreational use. In addition, there is an industrial transshipment port in Blerick, which is used intensively by the rich local logistics industry.
Another fun way to discover the Maas is by ferry. During your crossing you will have a beautiful view of the Maas and its green banks, the monastery village of Steyl or the picturesque Arcen. Or board the Filia Mosae at Lage Loswal. Would you rather be at the helm yourself? Then rent your own sloop at Sloepverhuur Venlo at the Stadshaven.
Arcen Castle Gardens
On the old, 32-hectare estate with its monumental castle as the centerpiece, you can walk for hours through the numerous castle gardens. Enjoy all the surprising colors and wonderful scents here. Stroll through the Rosarium, with 8,000 roses and more than 300 species in 10 gardens.
