What to do and see in Arnhem, Gelderland Province: The Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day
A sizable city in its own right, Arnhem is best known today as the site of one of the most famous battles of World War II. Given city rights in 1233, it has long been at the center of conflicts because of its strategic location on the banks of the Rhine River. The Battle of Arnhem, part of Operation Market Garden, was fought in September 1944. Advancing Allied forces, in large part due to a series of mistakes, failed to secure a key bridge and suffered defeat, delaying the Allied advance into Germany until the following spring. The 1977 movie "A Bridge Too Far" was based on the events here.

2. Burgers' Zoo and Safaripark
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,987 reviews
On March 31, 1913, Faisanterie Buitenlust, the forerunner of the current modern animal park Burgers' Zoo, opens its doors to the public for the first time. Since its foundation by Johan Burgers, the first owner and the one who named the animal park in Arnhem, the park has always remained a real family business. Already from its inception the zoo caused a sensation due to its daring new organisation, which naturally is in the way the animals' accommodations are shaped as well as in the way the experiences for the visitors are created. Burgers' Zoo has a rich history, which has shaped the zoo into the way it is today, and as you can still find it now in the wooded area just north of Arnhem.

A large collection of uniforms, insignias, helmets, caps, ammunition, food items, equipment and weapons from the German and Allied armies that fought in the Arnhem area. A somewhat small vehicle collection. Many of the items are deteriorated from time and weather since they were buried for a time, sometimes a little long time, before being located after the war. A number of staged scenes have been created with mannequins and appropriate equipment and uniforms. This is not the typical government museum; more like a bunch of collectors showing off artifacts, and putting quite a bit of effort into presentation. We were glad we went.

We visited the Rozet in February this year. This centre is just unbelievable. The size, the books, the clever layout. Its designed to encourage families and children. Well done to the people of Arnhem, and the Netherlands in building such a fantastic amenity.

This museum is close to Arnhem road bridge. It is a single room museum which summarises the entire Op Market Garden effort. The place also serves as an information centre for tourists. The view of river from this glass building is nice. This is THE place if you are short on time yet want a feel of the battle.
