With a population of just 164,781, Apeldoorn is hardly the bustling metropolis you may have envisioned. The sleepy city in the heart of the Netherlands is better suited to those seeking a quiet, provincial life than high-octane urban living. While the royal family's country estate, Het Loo Palace, is a major draw, the city itself has a persistent bureaucratic headache - the legacy of its industrial past. Apeldoorn is an unremarkable choice for all but the most ardent fans of Dutch heritage and small-town charm.
