Most attractions are easily reached on foot from the city center. Both Thermae 2000 and the Holland Casino are at the top of the Cauberg and require a fair climb for dutch standards. The tourist office (http://www2.vvvzuidlimbur...) VVV can be found near the large rock Kei in the city center.
It is also possible to rent a bike to explore the beautiful surroundings of the city. Within a ten minute walk from the train station bikes can be rented (http://www.cyclecenter.nl).
Zuid Limburgse Stoomtrein Maatschappij (http://www.zlsm.nl/) operates a steam locomotive between Valkenburg and Kerkrade and a branch to Vetschau in Germany. Trains run during the summer holiday season, the Sinterklaas November to December 5 period and the Christmas period.
