Fondest memory: On the picture a room of the palace 'Het Loo' where Queen Wilhelmina used to live.

Favorite thing: You could go to the entertainment parc 'Koningin Juliana Toren' (Queen Juliana Tower), an amusement parc with more than 35 attractions. It is just across the street of 'Het Loo'.
More information on Apeldoorn can be found on Apeldoorn site, in Dutch but I think you can get around just fine.

Fondest memory: When Wilhelmina and Hendrik wed in 1901, the people of Apeldoorn gave this obelisk to the royal couple.
It's right at the end of the 'Loolaan' and it s 20 metres high.

Favorite thing: Visit the royal palace Het Loo. Here former kings and queens lived in there modest 'Versailles of The Netherlands'. Especially the gardens are beautiful with their synchrone pathstructure, the wonderful fountains and plants and flowers. By the way, 'Het Loo' actually means 'The Water', something that had to be transported from a place few kilometres away.

Fondest memory: Strawl across the gardens and enjoy the sun on the patio, while listening to sound of falling water in the fountain-ponds.

Favorite thing: This is a picture of the park Berg-en-Bos. It is a park with a forest and a lake. The most interesting part of it is the wild park of Apenheul, an incredible area where different species of apes, monkeys and other kinds of animal roam free among the visitors. A great experience (I have gone there many times and I enjoy it more and more).

Favorite thing: One park the monkeys are free and they invite you into their world!

Fondest memory: Seeing these animals sitting on other visitors head :)

Favorite thing: go to the Caterplein when the weather is good. There are a lot of nice bars and cafe's where you can sit all day long and stare at the people who walk by.

Fondest memory: The hoofdstraat in the centre of Apeldoorn is a real must-see for its many shops and nice places to go.

Favorite thing: In front of the train station there is this art monument. Due to the fact that there is a new train/busstation area, this monument was made. It is called 'De kus' (the kiss).
