In that case I should promote the Utrecht region, shouldn't I? :wink:
Although not rich in Roman remains (like the German locations) or grand museums (such as Oxford), Utrecht has a bit of everything. Utrecht, Leiden, Amsterdam, every city has a good museum with plenty of Roman artifacts, usually within an hour (door-to-door) of where we stay. Also, Utrecht is within an hour by train from Schiphol airport.
Although no major Roman ruins exist here anymore, there's the Ermelo marching camp on the cold and forlorn heath (especially if we host this in the late Fall)..
