Hoe de aanduidingen werken

Wat we tonen en wat we weglaten

Elke aanduiding hieronder komt uit een bron die u kunt openen. Waar we geen melding hebben, staat in de lijst "niet vermeld" of staat er niets: we gokken niet. Controleer de locatie voordat u op reis gaat, want prijzen, openingstijden en boekingsregels veranderen.

  • Type. Onze eigen indeling van het soort plek in onze bestemmingsgidsen (bijvoorbeeld museum, kasteel of tuin). Het is een filter, geen beoordeling.
  • Entry (free or paid). Shown only where the venue's own website says so in plain words, read on 25 Oct 2026. 0 places here are marked free and 0 paid; the other 46 are not stated. "Free" means general admission: special exhibitions, events and facilities can still be charged. The words we relied on are on the sources page.
  • Reserveren. Wij hebben nog geen pagina van een locatie gelezen die aanraadt voor deze plekken te reserveren, dus er is geen reserveringsfilter. Controleer elke officiële site.
  • Drempelvrij. Alleen gemelde status, van OpenStreetMap contributors of de eigen toegankelijkheidspagina van de locatie: 0 plekken hebben een melding van drempelvrij of gedeeltelijk drempelvrij. Het drempelvrij-filter verbergt plekken zonder melding; dat betekent niet dat ze ontoegankelijk zijn. Neem contact op met de locatie.
  • Indoor or outdoor. Our rules for the kind of place (19 indoor, 0 partly covered, 11 outdoor; the rest are not classed). It says nothing about opening hours or shelter on the day.
  • Gezinsvriendelijk. Plekken die in onze gidsen als gezinsvriendelijk zijn gemarkeerd (tot nu toe 0).
  • Het dichtst bij mij. Hemelsbrede afstand vanaf de positie die uw apparaat doorgeeft wanneer u deze optie kiest. De positie blijft in uw browser.
  • Op dit apparaat bewaard. Plekken die u met het hartje hebt bewaard. Ze worden alleen in deze browser opgeslagen en verschijnen in Mijn reis.
