If you're looking for a place that's off the beaten path, Assen is it. This small city in the Netherlands is home to just over 100,000 people, and it's best known as the home of the TT Circuit Assen, one of the most famous motorcycle racing tracks in the world. But there's more to Assen than just motorbikes. The city is surrounded by forests and nature reserves, and it's a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. There's also a lot of history in Assen. The city was founded in the 10th century, and there are plenty of historic buildings and churches to explore. And if you're a fan of Dutch culture, you'll be happy to know that Assen is the birthplace of Vincent van Gogh.
