Trompenburg, Rotterdam
When the days get shorter and darker, you can sometimes spend quite a bit of time indoors with your offspring. Bereknus, until they start to get bored and the Lego flies through the room. Okay, you have to get out, but where to go, in that cold? We say: go to Arboretum Trompenburg in Rotterdam. Do it. This coming weekend there is a Christmas market as a Christmas market is meant to be: the garden is beautifully lit, there are fifty stalls with cozy Christmas items, there is hot chocolate and pea soup. Can't make it this coming weekend? Then keep it in mind for another random day. Trompenburg is interesting every day of the year, thanks to hundreds of special tree species, a turtle pond, a sheep pasture and a bird aviary. Ask about the special children's walk. Trompenburg
