APELDOORN, NETHERLANDS
Apeldoorn is a medium sized city in the Dutch province of Gelderland. With a population nearing 160,000, it is the 12th largest city of the Netherlands and plays a significant role in regional economy and infrastructure. Billed as a post world war 2 "groeistad" (new town), much of the city is comprised of modern residential areas and business districts.
Previous to the war, Apeldoorn was only a large village; thus much of its history, sights and attractions are concentrated in the north west quarter of the city, the original core.
This area is home to the famous 17th century Palace "Het Loo", beautiful parks with stately villa neighbourhoods, Apenheul ape zoo and the eastern flank of the forestry area known as the "Veluwe". The city centre offers a relatively generic range of shopping opportunities, but caters well in terms of places to eat out. The north end of the city centre displays some picturesque Jugendstil/art-nouveau architecture and hosts the night life and entertainment/cultural venues of Apeldoorn.
Apeldoorn is known for its spacious, green, family atmosphere and is at its best during the summer months.
