Efteling

Although the majority of its visitors are Dutch, anyone can enjoy one of the best theme parks in Europe. The park is divided into four sections: the Adventure Realm, the Fairy Realm, the Alternative Realm and the Travel Realm. Start with a map that can be bought at the main entrance souvenir shop for €1.50 as the park is large and can be a little confusing. So give your map a quick look and head right through the middle of the park to the the flying Thai temple where you can get a clear view of what the park has to offer. Another great way to get the lay of the land is to take the train that traverses the park. In the Alternative Realm you'll find rides with a specific theme. Like most parks this one can get insanely busy so if you want to beat at least some of the crowds go as early as possible and on a weekday. The Veolia bus No.168 from Den Bosch and bus No.169 from Tilburg take you here in less than half an hour.
