  • Fort Kijkduin is at a strategically important location and has quite some history. The museum offers lots of opportunities to get an impression of the war history around that place. You can walk in original bunkers, sit on anti air cannons, watch Napoleons battles or read about German occupation times. The aquarium which is also part of the museum shows local fish and you can even feed sharks there. There is a quiz available to keep the kids busy which worked very well. Highly recommended.
  • Nice fortress from Napoleonic times. Good place to learn about history and enjoy the coast line with dunes and waves.
