Good morning guys,
next january I will be for work in the German area of Bruggen, 5 days,
it' s very close to dutch border and I wuold like to spend one day in holland but not in Amsterdam or another big city like Eindhoven or Rotterdam; I need something in the green!
Any advice about small town coffeeshops?
(Weert, Genk,Bree...)
I' m interested in the area between Eindhoven and the german border.

Thank you,

Adriano

You do realize that Groningen is North of Amsterdam, nowhere near where the OP will be.

Sorry I thought Bruggen was near the limburg region of holland. My thinking was Groningen is a large university town with plenty of CS. But yes looking at it now there are CS closer. Apologies for confusing the issue.

Le città più vicine sono Arnhem o di Nijmegen

Like I said Arnhem and Nijmegen look your best options. I have stayed in Arnhem but that was a few years ago so can not suggest a special place. You will have to visit them and let us know which was best :D
