One of the biggest surprises in Arnhem? The food scene. 🌱 A DI’m always so impressed by the Netherlands’ food scene but I was blown away by Arnhem. The city is home to several restaurants recognised by the Michelin Guide, with culinary concepts that are leading the way in sustainable gastronomy through local sourcing, regenerative agriculture and innovative growing methods.🍽️ At LOCALS, ingredients from Dutch soil take centre stage, with produce sourced locally and even grown in their own Vertical Farm. Every dish celebrated seasonal Dutch produce in creative ways. @localsarnhem🌹 At The Green Rose, chef Jin Hu crafts beautiful tasting menus using ingredients from regenerative agriculture, sustainable Dutch fisheries and nose-to-tail cooking. It’s no surprise the restaurant has earned recognition for its commitment to sustainability. @thegreenrose_arnhemWhat impressed me most wasn’t just the quality of the food - it was how sustainability was woven into every course so easily and naturally. Trust me, you’ll want to travel to Arnhem for the food alone 😍🇳🇱If this is the future of fine dining, I’m all for it!Would you travel for a meal like this?Press trip with @into.arnhem and @visitnetherlands#intoarnhem #visitarnhem #visitnetherlands #michelinrestaurants #michelinrecommended | best restaurants in Arnhem | places to eat Arnhem | best restaurants Netherlands | places to eat Netherlands | Michelin recommended restaurants in Netherlands | Michelin guide restaurants | Michelin restaurants | fine dining Arnhem | fine dining Netherlands | sustainable restaurants | sustainable food | sustainable dining | food guide Netherlands | best food in Netherlands | best food in Arnhem

Call yourself a daredevil? I bet you’re not brave enough to walk out on a glass balcony suspended 60m high above a city where the ghosts of wartime past still walk the streets 👻 A D📍 This is Eusebius Church in Arnhem, Netherlands 🇳🇱A church tower once decimated by bombs (as was much of the city) in the Battle of Arnhem. While this city maybe be known for its wartime past, I actually found that the most inspiring part was the way the city has reinvented itself and evolved since. Check out the fascinating exhibitions and don’t miss exploring the Crypt 😮Don’t miss the glass balconies for the best views of the city - and check out my other videos from Arnhem to see a side of the Netherlands’ city you’ve NEVER seen before 😍Would you dare walk out?Press trip with @into.arnhem @visitnetherlands#intoarnhem #visitarnhem #arnhemcity #glassbalcony #arnhemlife | adventure in the city | Arnhem adventure | adrenaline | glass balcony Arnhem | Arnhem viewpoint | city views | Netherlands city break | Arnhem city break | best things to do Arnhem | things to do Arnhem | things to do Netherlands | best things to do Netherlands | glass balcony | adventure travel | st Eusebius church | Eusebiuskerk @eusebius_arnhem
I planned my entire trip to Arnhem, Netherlands, around one art exhibition. Spoiler alert: It was worth it.🎨 If you love contemporary art that challenges the way you see the world, put Museum Arnhem on your list.💖 My highlight was Nude with Attitude (until 20 September 2026) – a powerful exhibition exploring how artists have used the nude body as protest, political commentary and self-expression from the 1920s to today.What makes it so refreshing is its celebration of real people and real bodies. Different ages, cultures, shapes and experiences are represented in ways that are beautiful, thought-provoking and sometimes deliberately uncomfortable.🇮🇩 When you visit, make sure you also check out Bakudengar, which shares stories from the Indonesian archipelago and diaspora through film, sculpture, drawing and installations, exploring themes of freedom, migration and identity.🧵 Don’t miss Thread Power either, which shows how embroidery, beadwork and repair have long been tools for storytelling and self-expression.🍴 Afterwards, head to Café Pierre for a delicious organic lunch. Their vegetarian and vegan dishes are the perfect way to refuel after exploring the galleries.This is the kind of museum that stays with you long after you’ve left 📍Would you visit?#intoarnhem #visitarnhem #visitnetherlands #contemparyart #artexhibitions | nude with attitude | contemporary art | art exhibition | modern art exhibition | things to do Netherlands | art Netherlands | art Arnhem | things to do Arnhem | art exhibition Arnhem | art exhibition Netherlands | museum Arnhem
