History buffs, wildlife lovers, and fans of outdoor sports will find much to enjoy during a stay in Alphen aan den Rijn. It dates back more than 2,000 years to the days of Roman fortification. Indeed the town’s name is thought to have its roots in the Roman era, with Alphen thought to be a derivation of a former fort named Albaniana. This past comes to life at the Archeon theme park, which explores millennia of Dutch history and boasts of dozens of replica buildings from times long past – from prehistory to Roman occupation to the medieval period. The world’s first ever bird park – Avifauna Bird Park – is also a popular spot. And those who enjoy cycling, walking, wakeboarding, water skiing, and windsurfing will be in heaven during a trip to the Zegersloot Recreation Park, with its man-made lake. All you need to know now is where to stay during your exciting visit. These are some of the best Airbnb properties in the town.
