City in Netherlands
Nijmegen
3 things to see
The oldest city in the Netherlands sits on the Waal River with Roman ruins, Operation Market Garden history, and a lively student atmosphere. Nijmegen costs noticeably less than Amsterdam or Utrecht while delivering genuine Dutch city life. The riverside parks, the walkable old centre, and the hilltop Valkhof park with its views over the Waal are all free, and the flat cycling routes into the surrounding countryside cost nothing once you have a bike. The student crowd keeps cafes and cheap eats plentiful.
