In a nutshell
More than the McArthur Glen Designer Outlet Center!
Visit the VVV (tourist information office)
BillNJ Says: In the Netherlands, tourist information offices are called the VVV. The Roermond VVV is in the city center -- a few blocks from the central train station. They can provide you with helpful information about Roermond and the surrounding area.
BillNJ Says: The Rattentoren ('Rat's tower') is Roermond's last surviving tower that was part of the city wall from the medieval period. As was common in medieval times, the city of Roermond was surrounded by a wall with lookout towers as part of its fortification system.

See Statue of P.J.H. Cuypers in the Munsterplein
BillNJ Says: P.J.H. (Pierre) Cuypers was a famous architect who lived from 1827 to 1921. He was born in Roermond, but he is most famous for buildings that he designed elsewhere such as the Amsterdam Central Train Station. In Roermond, Cuypers, re-designed and restored the Munsterkerk. In...

Bakerstreet: Great little café in the city center
BillNJ Says: Since I didn't eat breakfast at my hotel in Düsseldorf (because it wasn't included in the price through Expedia), I stopped at a small café in the Roermond city center named Bakerstreet. I have since learned that it is a restaurant chain in the Netherlands.To drink, I...
La Place: Great cafe at the McArthur Glen Designer Outlet
BillNJ Says: La Place is a self-service cafe in the McArthur Glen Designer Outlet where you can purchase food and drinks. I saw another La Place in Maastricht, so the cafe in Roermond is apparently part of a chain.There is a wide variety to choose from -- including fresh fruit,...
elPierro Says: There are 2 cinema's in Roermond, there's a small and old one in the center called Royalline. If you walk from the station into the center it's at your left.The bigger one is called Foroxity and is right at the Outletcenter, it's your average modern cinema with good seatings...
ATLC Says: Someone on the Roermond forum asked about the Solar Weekend. I can't say much about it, save that it seems to be a rock festival. The nearest hotels to the venue are in Roermond, of which TheaterHotel De Oranjerie, Kloosterwandplein 12-16 NL - 6041 JA Roermond looks to be...
elPierro Says: Most mayor reconstruction sites are cleared.As per 2011 only the N280 between Weert and Roermond-center can prove to be a bottleneck as the main bridge is under construction and traffic on this road is generally busy.The A52 to Dusseldorf and A73 Venlo-Maasbracht are open to...

RobBeck Says: Very small Gift shop in the market square, the ower is pleasent and takes the time to listern to an Englishman talking in terrible Dutch/German English. Well worth a visit and i will again. Local food produceGlass Gifts
Pedralho Says: An outlet mall on open air, with shops selling clothes from known brands. Overall you can find stuff here a lot cheaper than in neighbouring Germany, and this is probably why so many Germans come here. clothes, home stuff, electronic stuff this depends on what you want to...
McArthur Glen Designer Outlets: Outlet Center with Top Designer Brands
BillNJ Says: For the German VTers that I met on my trip, the biggest attraction was the McArthur Glen Designer Outlets. Outside this shopping center, there is a large parking lot. Also, you can easily reach the outlets by foot from the train station. If you walk, you need to go through a...
Many Shops in City Center Pedestrian Zone
BillNJ Says: While not as glamorous as the McArthur Glen Designer Outlet Center, the pedestrian zone in the Roermond city center has some very nice stores for clothes and other merchandise. Furthermore, the city center pedestrian zone has a nice, relaxed atmosphere.
BillNJ Says: Christoffel Bier is brewed in Roermond. There are two main varieties, Christoffel Blond and Christoffel Robertus. Christoffel is a relatively young brewery, founded in 1986. Christoffel brews according to the German “Reinheitsgebot von 1516”, which means the brewing process...
BillNJ Says: When I found out that The Dinner Inn connected to my hotel did not have Christoffel, I "settled" for a Heineken. The fact that Heineken is the standard local brew on tap is proof of how great the Netherlands is for beer.Heineken is a 5% abv pale lager, made of purified...
elPierro Says: If you think of places you might lose your car or bike, you'd be thinking of Amsterdam. Well Amsterdam not the most criminal city of the country. Not that Roermond is, but it outranks Amsterdam in a top 5 spot of unsafest cities of the country. For a city with just under...
elPierro Says: Many people (especially the Germans) love it when they are able to do some shopping on sundays. The outlet center in Roermond is a big attraction for many people as it is one of the few areas in the region where shops are open, as are many supermarkets in Roermond. However,...

Lovely Small City in Central Limburg
The German VTers that I met on my trip knew of Roermond only as the site of the large McArthur Glen Designer Outlet Center. I hope that my VT page helps to show that Roermond has more to offer a...

Roermond, in the heart of Limburg
