The classics in Apeldoorn

6 places that make the city

The places that make Apeldoorn: Paleis Het Loo, Gardens of Paleis Het Loo, CODA Apeldoorn and more, with what is on there next.

Paleis Het Loo

The 17th-century palace of the House of Orange, now a museum. You walk through the rooms where the family lived, see the exhibitions and look at the carriages and cars on the stable square.

Gardens of Paleis Het Loo

The baroque garden behind the palace, laid out for William III and Mary II, with a king's garden and a queen's garden, fountains and statues. It is on the palace ticket: there is no separate garden ticket.

Kroondomein Het Loo

A royal estate of forest, heath and parkland next to the palace. Walk or cycle through the woods and across the heath, where deer and other wildlife live freely.

Apenheul

A park for apes and monkeys, where in some areas the monkeys roam free around you. It is open in the season, and in winter the evening walk Winterheul takes over.

Veluwsche Stoomtrein Maatschappij

A steam train that runs on set days between Apeldoorn and Dieren along the Koningslijn, with a museum station in Beekbergen.
