Düsseldorf’s proximity to both the Dutch and Belgian borders makes it ideal for weekend trips to its neighbouring countries; even within Germany, there’s plenty to explore. From Zeeland’s sandy beaches to Antwerp’s architectural treasures and Germany’s ski resorts, these are the best weekend getaways from Düsseldorf.

Zandvoort is among the most popular Dutch beach resorts and though its a three-hour drive away from Düsseldorf, it’s only half an hour outside of Amsterdam. In the summer, its seemingly endless beaches do tend to get crowded, but on a warm spring day, this beachside town is a great place to catch some rays.
