Heerlen is buzzing! This once industrial city has shed its grey veil and is now a hub for culture, shopping, and delicious food.<\/p>\n
In the centre of Heerlen, you'll find a forest: the Aambos, a hillside forest with the Caumerbeek stream in the valley. The forest covers 45 hectares and features an animal enclosure and a deer park. As a walker, you'll encounter challenging slopes.<\/p>\n
Bad weather? Avid shoppers can indulge themselves in the covered Corio Centre<\/a>. Here you'll find over 30 shops, including eight food outlets. The Corio Center has its own car park, so you don't have far to walk.<\/p>\n The Maastricht hospitality sector concentrates around the cosy Pancratiusplein<\/a>. Young and old alike will find something to their liking here, with a variety of traditional pubs and trendy bars such as the popular Nr. 7Even.<\/p>\n The Klinge Caf\u00e9<\/a>, A regular fixture in the national top 100 best caf\u00e9s, it's a caf\u00e9 where craftsmanship and hospitality are highly valued. They offer the complete range of Brand beers on tap and many more speciality beers by the bottle.<\/p>\n In the Hoensbroek district, you will find Hoensbroek Castle<\/a>, one of the oldest and largest castles in the Netherlands. Around five centuries separate the oldest and youngest parts of the castle, making a visit a true journey through time!<\/p>\n It Thermenmuseum<\/a> bears witness to the rich history of the seemingly modern industrial city of Heerlen. Built on the remains of a Roman bathhouse, the museum gives you an insight into the largest and best-preserved ancient building in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n Architect Fritz Peutz's Glass Palace is an exemplar of the New Building architectural style. For a long time, this glass palace housed the Schunck department store, not to be confused with the cultural institution of the same name that is now located there. On the fifth floor of the Glass Palace, you'll find brasserie Mijn Streek, which is worth a visit not only for its menu but also for its view.<\/p>\n In recent years, Heerlen has built a strong reputation in the field of street art. Diverse murals<\/a> They adorn the walls of otherwise bleak buildings. Tours are even organised, but you can also discover these murals on your own, of course.<\/p>\n The prestigious Land Quarter<\/a> is to become the modern heart of Heerlen in the near future, with shops, catering, offices and housing. Together with the central station, it is also the city's showpiece.<\/p>\n3. Pancratius Square<\/h2>\n
