"Brielle and Voorne" Brielle by KennetRose

Brielle Travel Guide: 153 reviews and 353 photos

It's hard to believe that such a charming little town could be found amongst green fields, woods and dunes within such a short distance of Europe's biggest port and industrial complex. But here in Brielle that's exactly what you get.

The town lies on the island of Voorne, just a short drive through the docks from the heart of Rotterdam.

Many thanks to Anke-Thea (ATLC) and her family for being such wonderful hosts and guides to their home area!
