Description and information about accommodationVenlo

Venlo

Fontys International Campus is located in Venlo, Netherlands, which is on the southeastern border of the country on the border of Germany. Venlo has approximately 90,000 inhabitants and became an established city around 1343. Due to its location on the River Maas, it was able to develop into a thriving place of commerce at this early stage.

Today, Venlo is still very much a commercial center in the region. Dutch is the formal language, but most inhabitants also speak German and English.

The Venlo area is blessed with an abundance of natural beauty, located between several national parks: the German-Dutch Maas-Schwalm-Nette Park, Maasduinen National Park and the Groote Peel National Park. The banks of the Maas River are also a favorite location for picnicking or strolling. With a vision on its ‘green’ environment, there is a wealth of ‘green’ inside the city itself. Every Venlo resident can be in the heart of the natural environment within ten minutes by bicycle. Recreational opportunities in Venlo are also plentiful for participants and spectators alike. There are several quality golf courses around the city.

Venlo also offers plenty of entertainment: theatres, cinemas, pubs and bars. There is an historic shopping center with a wide variety of shops combined with authentic bars, restaurants and pavement cafés. Many museums, theatres, cinemas and traditional carnivals make Venlo a regional entertainment centre.
