Attractions

The favorable location of Viersen makes it ideal for excursions. The locals love to cycle over to Holland for shopping, or to eat some tasty "frietjes“ (chips). All enjoy the scenic Lower Rhine valley and the surrounding countryside. One event that keeps all the Viersen residents close to home is the annual Carnival. The colourful parade through the old town is a real highlight in the region. And what could be better than Mars providing the treats that are tossed like arching rainbows from the passing floats to the costumed crowds lining the streets.
