Just wondering ... I took the train through Venlo on my way to GT last year. Thinking of heading back later this year and was just wondering if Venlo is a nice/safe place to stay. Is there much to do there while between jaunts to GT?

I'm mainly looking to set up a base camp in a nice hotel near both GT and YY.

Thanks.

Hi Ron

Venlo is definitely a safe place. It's a rather small town with a lovely central area,
excellent bistrots/restaurants/bars and nice shops in general. You can visit the Limburgs museum or rent a bike and visit Blerick. However you'll find the nearby German towns to be way cheaper. Also, there are currently NO INTERNET CAFES in town.
But yes, I find it a very good base camp for GT visits. BTW The club had a great lineup this week IMHO....

Thanks for the info, davide.

Do you know much about Roermond? YY is right there and doesn't look like too much of a cab ride to GT?

'Do you know much about Roermond?'

Never been there. I had actually planned a visit to YY last week, but eventually it was GT two days in a row. However Roermond is just 20 minutes away from Venlo, the train ride is about 4 euros.
