Nijmegen

Located by the Waal river, Nijmegen attracts visitors with its mix of nature and active culture. Known as 'Havanna at the Waal,' this city has a lively feel because of its young, left-leaning community. If you enjoy the outdoors, you will be happy with the easy access to nice walking paths and parks right from the city center. Whether you like cycling, running, or just walking along the riverside, there are many things for everyone to enjoy. On the other hand, some people might find living here to be a bit expensive compared to other Dutch cities. While public transportation is good, having a bike can really make your time here better—it is a common way to get around! The neighborhoods, filled with local traditions and a welcoming feel, encourage you to visit different cafes and shops. Remember that English is commonly spoken, but knowing a few Dutch phrases can be useful. Overall, Nijmegen is a great place for anyone wanting to enjoy city life along with the beauty of nature!
