Nature’s Joy
Here, on the banks of the mother Maas, energy, creativity, and zest for life makes us who we are. We are inventive people who 'näöle' (complain) about absolutely everything, but who then always see opportunities to make life more beautiful and enjoyable. Venlo is always on the move. Here, we proudly build the future, driven by what makes us special. It is embedded in our DNA: we are enterprising people who celebrate life.



In Venlo, we toast to life,
throw parties wherever we can.
In our streets, there's been hustle and bustle for centuries.
Together, we bring life to the brewery.
We are rooted in nature,
the Maas flows through our cores.
It brings calm, but also sets things in motion,
straight through the greenery and across borders.
We are enterprising, take action,
shake each other's hands.
We build ideas, find a way
and enjoy our successes.
We stand side by side, in good times and bad.
Take care of each other and plan to meet up again soon.
Differences exist, but they fade away,
because we celebrate life together.

Enterprising people who celebrate life, it's embedded in our DNA. Meet the people who together make Venlo.
Venlo is constantly on the move. A place where entrepreneurship and zest for life go hand in hand. Where people see and seize opportunities. And where we know how to celebrate life together. This mentality is deeply embedded in our DNA, from the city to the surrounding villages.
Yet something was missing: one shared story. One identity that shows who we are, what connects us, and why Venlo is so special. Now it is time to make that story visible. For ourselves and for the world around us.

The banks of 'Mother Maas' are the greenest and meander most beautifully. Located on the Maas and surrounded by dense forests and picturesque heathlands, Venlo offers a unique combination of urban living and green living. Discover Venlo in all its aspects.
