    - Charming small-scale botanical garden
    Spent < 1 hour Gardens
    
    
    If you are visiting the Pinetum nearby, it is also worth taking a look at the Costerus garden, which is only five minutes away. Entrance is free and the garden is open every day during daylight hours. This lovely garden has been planted with both loving care and also scientific rigour. The various botanical orders are planted together in different beds - so the lilies are all planted together, the poppies are together, the orchids are together, and so forth. A small information leaflet is available at the entrance so you can work out what's what. Every plant is clearly labelled with its Latin name. The Costerstuin is only small and its entrance is a bit hard to find (look for a leaf-covered archway between two buildings on the Zonnelaan), but it is well worth visiting if you are in the area.

14. 4.0 Begraafplaats Zuiderhof (8 reviews)
    - Prachtige door Dudok ontworpen begraafplaats

    Zuiderhof is een begraafplaats die door Dudok in 1957 ontworpen is. De begraafplaats is makkelijk met de auto te bereiken.
    
    De entree is sober en indrukwekkend tegelijk. Het kale plein vormt een prachtige combinatie met de zuilengalerij met zes meter hoge zuilen. De aula is ruim en licht en Dudok heeft bij zijn werk de omgeving (hei), ruimte en licht prachtig weten te combineren. Vanuit de aula kijk je uit op de middenas van het terrein, welke is omgeven met bomen en heesters. Hierdoor worden op een bijzondere manier alle associaties met een begraafplaats weggenomen.
    
    Voor liefhebbers van architectuur is een bezoek zeker aan te raden! See more..
