McArthurGlen Designer Outlet in Roermond

McArthurGlen Designer Outlet in Roermond

Never made a secret of it: we are quite 'on' the McArthurGlen Designer Outlet in Roermond. Because the weather is the perfect reason to enjoy the beautiful Limburg to visit, and because it is home to some of the very best outlets in the country (hello Gucci, hello Prada, hello MiuMiu and more…)

The outlet is reminiscent of Movie Park in terms of atmosphere and layout and feels like a village in itself. There are no attractions (except for a magnificent carousel); you come here to score designer items at a discount. And if there is one thing we love, it is discounts. By the way, you don't only get them on designer brands, brands such as Puma, Adidas and My Jewellery also have stores there. There is even a Le Creuset store, for the kitchen princesses among us. Life-threatening for the wallet..
