Valkenburg at the Crossroads of Europe

Based in Valkenburg, superb for tourists, and located in the South of Holland, this represents a great base from which to visit three European countries. We include a visit to Aachen in Germany, capital of the Holy Roman Empire of Charlemagne. We then journey through the Dutch countryside to the area known as the 'Dutch Alps' and on to The Three Countries Point. This is where the borders of Holland, Belgiumand Germany all meet. On day three you have the full day at leisure in Valkenburg. On day four the morning is free to enjoy Valkenburg. Explore the old streets and caves, visit the castle or enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of the many pavement cafes.
