Welcome to my barrio, my mundo. Welcome to this city tour of Nijmegen, the Netherlands' oldest city . Shot in glorious 4K UHD Video.
We start our walk from the train station to see the following attractions:
The Grote Markt:
Continuing the tradition of European market squares, the Grote Markt in Nijmegen sits in the centre of the town not far from the river Waal.
As a central point in the city the Grote Markt offers the perfect location to explore Nijmegen from and also enjoy the local atmosphere.
On this square you will find the impressive Stevenskerk, together with a host of local restaurants and cafes, and shops.
De Waagh:
One of the most beautiful buildings in Nijmegen, De Waagh takes prime place in the Grote Markt.
Constructed in the 1600’s in an ornate renaissance style, the structure has been renovated in the 1800’s and now stands as a fine restaurant.
As a central point of interest in the market square, De Waagh is extremely beautiful and the restaurant that is open inside offers a ride range on quality dishes, served in a great atmosphere and location.
Stevenskerk:
lso known as the great church of St. Stephen, this magnificent religious structure is the oldest in both Nijmegen and the Gelderland province.
Although the church was recently restored in 1959, the actual original construction was much earlier and dates back to the 13th century.
With an exterior that features an ornate domed bell tower, various religious reliefs above the main doorway and a front open archway that extends out onto the street.
Lange Hezelstraat
Hezelstraat is one of the oldest dedicated shopping streets in the Netherlands and one of the central shopping areas in Nijmegen.
Spanning from the northern edge of the Kronenburgerpark, to the small square at the intersection between Ganzenheuvel and Houtstraat, the street is lined with many different shops and restaurants.
You can find anything from vintage clothes stores, to record stores and liquor parlours, and the old architecture of the buildings also adds an extra depth to the character of the street.
For a enjoyable bit of retail therapy in a charming setting, Lange Hezelstraat is a true gem.
Kronenburgerpark:
The Kronenburgerpark is a wonderful public area to walk through and enjoy some beautiful scenery and old castle ruins.
Located in-between the main railway station and the old town centre, the park is easy to get to on foot.
Due to a murky reputation, the park was renovated in 2005 and now features a beautiful layout and modern facilities.
