Wageningen sits at the intersection of two compelling day trip directions. Head east to Arnhem and the Airborne Museum at Oosterbeek, which tells the story of Operation Market Garden and the disastrous Battle of Arnhem in September 1944 — essential context for anyone who has visited Hotel de Wereld. Head north into the De Hoge Veluwe National Park, the large forested heath reserve that contains the Kröller-Müller Museum with one of the world's most important Van Gogh collections. Both destinations are under 40 minutes by car or bus.
