What to do and see in Benedenstad, Gelderland Province: The Best Things to do

November 28, 2021 Weston Hennigan

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?

Stevenskerk

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

de Bastei

Reviewed By BrissieJim - Brisbane, Australia

A very kind staff member gave us a personal tour and explanation of the lower floors which are actually an excavation of the old Roman wall, and as you proceed higher you can see how subsequent generations built upon the foundations. There is an excellent floor devoted to fauna, and the skull of a Mammoth takes pride of place. There is also an interaction floor, where we had our first experience of Virtual Reality, as the platform we appeared to be sitting on (an open helicopter perhaps) zoomed over the sea and river and then plunged under water so that we could see the fish-life swimming by. There is a restaurant and an observation deck to look out on the busy river. Well worth a visit.

Valkhof Park

Reviewed By Anmar68 - Apeldoorn, The Netherlands

It never starts to bore me, historical places like this. To know that hundreds of years ago people lived here, enting and drinking and hopefully happy. It is on a small Hill in a park where you have a beautiful photographic spot of the river De Waal and the Waalbridge. During the Second World War there was a huge battle over this bridge. In the touristic center (called the VVV) people can give more information.
