Situated in Gammelstad, the open-air museum Hägnan serves as a cultural-historical knowledge centre, offering a glimpse into the rich heritage of the North-Brabant coastal region. The museum features well-preserved buildings dating from the 1700s to the 20th century, creating an immersive village experience that brings history to life. In the summer, Hägnan transforms into a lively space with the addition of animals, including pigs, sheep, rabbits, and chickens, providing a delightful experience for visitors of all ages. As winter arrives, Hägnan becomes a festive hub with a Christmas market and a splendid fire festival.

Lauwersmeer National Park, straddling the border of Groningen and Friesland, emerged from the transformation of the Lauwerszee into a lake in 1969. This park, a haven for over 100 bird species and a key stopover in their migratory paths, offers a blend of open water, grasslands, reed beds and forests. Notable for its tranquillity and natural beauty, it's also a designated Dark Sky Park, ideal for stargazing. Home to unique wildlife, including Konik horses and Scottish Highland cattle, the park provides enriching experiences through hiking and boat photo tours.

Nowhere else in the world is there a collection of Gandharan art more extensive than that of the Peshawar Museum, housed inside an attractive Victorian building (much of the Gandharan section was closed for renovations as of fall 2017, so do give a call prior to visiting).
