Set on the banks of the River Geleenbeek, the Dutch town of the same name is part of Sittard-Geleen municipality in Limburg Province.

A tiny village until the end of the 19th century, Geleen is known as the site of one of the oldest prehistoric farms in the country.

During the early part of the 20th century, the region was important for coal mining, but the mines were shut down in the 1970s and replaced by petrochemical manufacturing.

Geleen hotels serve mainly business travellers to the industrial estates on the town borders, and good road links make travelling from Maastricht on the A2 or from Antwerp and Aachen on the A76 straightforward journeys.

Searches will reveal some interesting historical relics around the area, such as the restored Castle Jansgeleen complex a few kilometres from town, although there is little to see in the town itself except for a few 19th century residential streets.
