Spring in Venlo

Inspiration and tips for a wonderful Spring weekend!

Spring has been in the Northern Hemisphere since Saturday 20 March. In the spring the trees become greener again, plants start to flower, it gradually gets warmer and the chance of frost is getting smaller. Tomorrow it will be lovely Spring weather with about 15 degrees Celsius, so it's great to go outside. But what can you actually do with all the safety rules that apply? Time for some inspiration and tips!

Have a picnic in the Juliana Park

Normally, the Juliana Park is often used for festivals and events such as the annual Stereo Sunday and Zomerparkfeest festivals. Unfortunately we will have to wait a while for that, but you can also make something fun out of it yourself! Prepare tasty snacks at home or drop by Beej Benders in advance for some delicious, fresh, ready-made snacks. Gather a friend and enjoy together in the park, each on their own blanket 1.5 meters away.

Roller skating around the Groote Heide

This sport is very popular again since the Lock down and the beautiful weather. Something different than cycling or walking and in the meantime you put on nice music or chat with a friend. A nice round of roller skating is around the Groote Heide. It's completely covered with asphalt and you can enjoy the beautiful landscape of the hei. You don't have roller skates in your closet yet? Search online at the web called marktplaats for used roller skates or order them online and pick them up at a sports shop in Venlo or delivered. Did you know that roller skating is good for your buttocks and leg muscles?

A route from bridge to bridge and end with an ice cream

We have mapped out a beautiful route of about 5 km that starts at the central station. You walk along the Maas towards the hospital and then across the bridge to Blerick. In Blerick you walk back along the Maas and then you go over the Maasbrug back to Venlo. There you end up at Ijsco Fantastico for a delicious ice cream or coffee to go.
