Discover Roosendaal: Holiday Apartments, Culture and Family Experiences

Roosendaal combines cultural discoveries with a variety of opportunities for walks, hikes and cycling tours. When choosing a holiday apartment in Roosendaal, you can tailor your stay to very different interests: art and history, physical activity in a landscape criss-crossed by streams and canals, or shared experiences with children.

Art and History in the Cityscape

The Kunstommetje offers a special way to explore Roosendaal. This city walk is 5.2 kilometres long and passes culturally and historically significant buildings, statues, murals and other works of art. This allows the route to combine physical activity with impressions of the cityscape, without requiring you to focus on a single cultural theme.

The Tongerlohuys is also part of Roosendaal’s historic character. The former rectory acquired its present form in 1762. At the Tongerlohuys Museum, five icons present the history of Roosendaal and the surrounding region. The permanent Tongerlohuys location is currently closed for renovation; the temporary exhibition is located in the EKP building in Roosendaal. You should distinguish between these different locations and status details when making your own plans.

Walks, Countryside and Audio Tours

The landscape around Roosendaal is criss-crossed by streams and canals, including the Watermolenbeek and the Roosendaalse Vliet. Those who enjoy spending time outdoors during their stay will find more than 20 hiking trails in and around Roosendaal. These include city walks, family-friendly outings and hikes through the woods. This gives you a choice of different forms of physical activity and lets you adapt your daily schedule to your interests.

There are also three audio tours for independent cultural exploration. They can be played on a smartphone and each has its own theme. Together with the Kunstommetje, they provide a selection that enables both short city explorations and thematically guided experiences.

Vrouwenhof for Culture and Family Time

Vrouwenhof Park is Roosendaal’s city park. Live performances take place there every Wednesday evening in summer. Every summer, the Vrouwenhof Open-Air Theatre offered music, cabaret, dance, classical music, opera, theatre and children’s performances. The programme therefore ranges from musical and theatrical events to offerings that also appeal to younger visitors.

At Speeltuin Vrouwenhof, children can play on various play structures. The playground also has picnic tables and lawns for picnics. Families can therefore combine a visit with playtime and a break outdoors, without attributing any additional features to the location.

The Stadstuin van Hasselt also adds a cultural touch: nine different works of art can be viewed there, and various temporary exhibitions take place throughout the year.

Roosendaal as a Starting Point for Different Kinds of Days

Roosendaal offers 30 varied cycling routes. In addition to cycling, you can choose from city walks, hiking trails, audio tours, art venues and family activities. When choosing a holiday apartment, you can consider which of these activities will be the focus of your stay and how varied you want your days to be. The different types of routes and experiences help you align your accommodation choice with your own travel plans, without assuming a single type of holiday.
