Top 10 Sights & Landmarks in Nijmegen, Gelderland Province
At over 2000 years old, Nijmegen has had a pretty full life. Its transition from Roman military camp to modern municipality has not been without growing pains, but today Nijmegen is thriving, largely because of its lively student population and its status as a hub for political activism. Try to visit during the internationally popular Nijmeegse Vierdaagse four-day walking festival and the epic Zomerfeesten summer party. They happen at the same time, because why not?

This is a nice park to take a wander in where you can get away from the city bustle. There are some pretty views.

Stevenskerk, inspiring meeting place for art, culture and contemplation. Construction of the church started halfway the 13th century. In 1273 the church was consecrated by Albert Magnus, the Bishop of Cologne. Of this Roman Gothic church the groundwork and the most Western bays of the ship remain. Extensive construction took place in the course of the 15th century, among others the choir and the chapels. In the 16th century work was done on the transept and small part of the ship. After about 1650 construction stopped, which left the church unfinished. The tower was fitted with a new clock floor in the 15th century. During the bombing on Nijmegen February 22nd 1944, a large part of the tower collapsed. The South-Western part of the church was heavily damaged. Also in the period during the Second World War where Nijmegen was on the front the church incurred a lot of damage. After the WWII the church was thoroughly renovated.

We went to see and hear the Royal Nijmegan men's choir with Amira Willighagen. It was a great evening. The choir members are so friendly and helpful. Amira was absolutely out of this world. The church was a great setting for the event. It is as big as a cathedral and stunningly beautiful

Just a beautiful place to visit. So much is pedestrianised so safe to walk around. A very photogenic place.

Good food with friendly staff and nice scenery sitting in the sun at the Grote Markt. From this point there is this Electric Bus which brings you in 40 minutes to a city tour. Cute and fun.
