Welcome to Nijmegen!

Nijmegen is one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands. Here are some beautiful places to visit: Rivierpark Across from the Waalkade you can see Nijmegen's river park. More and more water flows through the rivers, which is why a secondary channel was dug alongside the Waal river (called the Spiegelwaal). As a result of the digging and moving of the dikes, an elongated isle in the Waal came into being. The isle and Spiegelwaal protect us against high waters, also called 'Veur Lent'. Feel like having some fresh air? Then this is an awesome place for a walk or bike ride! When the sun comes out in full, the people from Nijmegen come here to lay down their towels and take a refreshing dive. This is also the place for water sports such as stand up paddling, canoeing, rowing, and so on.

Valkhof Park

This park offers great views of the Waal River and has ancient Roman ruins.
