Places of interest

  • The Groote Kerk (St. Eusebius), built 1452–1560, lost most of its tower during World War II, of which a part has been reconstructed to a modern design and opened in 1964. Officially the tower is not part of the church and is owned by the municipality.
  • The house of Maarten van Rossum, a general serving Duke Charles van Gelre, has been the town hall since 1830: The satyrs in its Renaissance ornamentation earned it the name Duivelshuis ("devil's house").
  • Burgers' Zoo Wikipedia Icon is one of the biggest and most-visited zoos in the Netherlands, featuring an underwater walkthrough, desert, mangrove, rainforest, etc.
  • The Gelredome Wikipedia Icon, the home field of Vitesse, the city's Eredivisie team in football, is a unique facility that features a retractable roof and a slide-out grass pitch. 
  • The KEMA Toren Wikipedia Icon (formerly known as SEP Control Tower) is the highest structure of the town. It is a 140-m-high TV tower.
