Things to do in Nijmegen

Situated in the eastern Netherlands, on the banks of the Waal river and close to the German border, Nijmegen is a hidden gem and is absolutely worth a visit. The mix of old and new reflects perfectly in Nijmegen’s soul: history, culture and innovation meet together to create a magical atmosphere. Nijmegen is the oldest city in the Netherlands since it was founded by the Romans over two thousand years ago, but nevertheless, the city has a very positive and young vibe too, being a lively university city with a large student population.

The city hosts the famous Four Day Marches, known as well as The Walk of the World: for four consecutive days thousands of people from all over the world walk around the city and its beautiful surroundings in order to promote sport and health.

At last, the historic city is surrounded by nature: the river provides an opportunity to relax and many fun activities.
