Efteling

Is Efteling Europe's greatest theme park? The Dutch certainly think so. Their "Disneyland" pulls in more than four million visitors annually and offers a great selection of enchanting fairy-tale themed entertainment, talking trees and water shows but also some of the craziest rollercoasters you're likely to ride, including the 360-degree screamer "Baron," and in-the-dark sensory-overload "Vogel Rok."

Efteling is near the unassuming town of Kaatsheuvel. Buses 300 and 301 stop at Efteling between Tilburg (€3, 20 minutes) and Den Bosch (€4.90, 40 minutes), running several times an hour.
