The best time to visit Arcen
The most comfortable months for a city stay in Arcen are May, June, August and September. August is the warmest month, with average highs of 24 °C; July is the wettest, with about 81 mm of rain.
Comfortable means average daytime high between 18 °C and 29 °C and under 80 mm of rain in the month. Averages for 1991–2020 over the surrounding area, a grid square about 50 km across, so a coast or a nearby mountain can make the town itself warmer or cooler.

Getting there
Getting to Arcen: airports and arrival
The nearest airport with scheduled flights is Weeze (Niederrhein) Airport (NRN), about 14 km from the city centre in a straight line; Düsseldorf Airport (DUS, 46 km) and Eindhoven Airport (EIN, 56 km) are also within reach.
Getting in
Arcen sits right on the most eastern curve of the Maes river in the Netherlands; locked between the water and the German border. The N271 is the main road in and out, heading north to Gennep and Bergen (Limburg), and south to Venlo. If you're relying on public transport, your best option is to head to Venlo first. Arcen has no train station, but from Venlo bus line 83 in direction Nijmegen runs twice per hour, getting you to Arcen in 30 minutes. Get out at bus stop Maasstraat/Koestraat. If you're cycling, you'll find that there are many routes from all directions.
Getting around
The town is small and the castle is only a five minute walk from the centre. Getting around on foot is therefore the obvious choice for the town itself. Visitors of the castle gardens can park their cars at a well indicated parking lot close to the entrance. A bicycle is great to explore the natural surroundings, including the further out parts of the castle's estate. While the gardens are spread over an area of some 32ha, which is already quite a walk, the total estate is about 450ha.
