Zoetermeer, Modern municipality in South Holland, Netherlands
Zoetermeer is a modern municipality in South Holland located roughly 16 kilometers north of Rotterdam across several neighborhoods. The city includes significant areas of water and green space alongside its built environment.
The place first appeared in written records in 1269, and a merger with Zegwaart in 1935 established its current municipal boundaries. This combining of communities shaped how it developed afterward.
The National Videogame Museum displays how digital entertainment grew over decades through exhibitions and collections. You can trace the development of gaming from its earliest forms to today through these displays.
Light rail connections link the city to The Hague and Rotterdam through stations spread across different neighborhoods. You can easily move between areas and travel to nearby cities by using these lines.
SnowWorld, Europe's first indoor ski facility with real snow, allows visitors to ski on genuine slopes all year round. The facility operates regardless of outdoor weather conditions.
