Friends in Dusseldorf

Join me for some amazing burgers on Friday night.

Be it vegetarian, vegen or non-veg there is something for everyone!

Let's explore together the charming and historical Dutch city of Venlo! Shops are open on Sunday, so there will be plenty of options to bring home some souvenirs.

We'll meet at 12.30 in front of the Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhof (outside near "Kamps" bakery) and will go by regional train directly to Venlo in the Netherlands. The train trip takes around 1h and we should have at least 4 hours in the town for walking, shopping and and a coffee break together. We'll be proposing in the group chat meeting points, so you can decide to stay with the group or explore the city at your own pace.

Please don't forget to bring along your EU-ID or passport as we'll be crossing the German borders and there should be regular controls.

12:48 Düsseldorf Hbf - 13:56 Venlo train station (RE13)

Deutschland Ticket is valid for the whole journey until Venlo train station. If you don't have one, please buy your return train ticket ahead of time. Return ticket costs approx. €35.
