Venlo
This Dutch city on a bend of the Maas river, Venlo has a walkable centre dense with listed buildings, cafés, and restaurants, and serves as a trading and transport hub for the wider region, including the neighbouring German Ruhrgebied across the border. Though the Second World War left its mark, the historic core survives and gives the city a heritage-rich streetscape worth exploring on foot.
