Nijmegen is a city where centuries of history meet youthful energy. As the oldest city in the Netherlands, it is surrounded by a surprisingly green and diverse landscape. From the vibrant city centre, it takes less than fifteen minutes to walk to the beaches along the Waal, where you might even come face to face with wild Konik horses.
