Nijmegen
Nijmegen, the oldest city in the Netherlands, sits along the River Waal near the German border and offers a lively mix of history, culture and nature. Founded by the Romans for its strategic location, the city still showcases archaeological traces, ancient streets and iconic landmarks such as St. Stephen’s Church and the historic Lower Town. Visitors can enjoy vibrant nightlife, museums, festivals, riverside walks and easy access to the Waal beaches where wild Konik horses roam. With its youthful energy, diverse dining, green parks and rich heritage, Nijmegen delivers an engaging city experience within a compact, walkable setting.
