Nijmegen Guide

The central square of Nijmegen is Grote Markt, located at the centre of Nijmegen’s historic core. Devastated by the World War II bombings, the city was later extensively restored; the result is more than efficient!

Grote Markt is dominated by the statue of Mariken van Nieumeghen, heroine of a local Dutch tale, who was tricked by the Devil and after her long self-punishment, she was forgiven by God.

The most notable building in Grote Markt, the Waaggebouw dates back to 1612, when it served as the place to weigh one’s baked goods. The elegant Renaissance building now houses a restaurant.

East of the Grote Markt, you’ll come across the City Hall of Nijmegen (Stadhuis), standing among a complex of renovated mansions built in the 14th century. The City Hall was designed by Herman van Herengave and it is elaborately decorated with sculptures and statues depicting royal personalities, emperors and other notable figures of the region.

Sint-Stevenskerk or Grote Kerk is the Gothic church dominating the hill looming over River Waal. It was built in 1260, but its construction was completed in 1560. Notice the octagonal bell tower, dating back to the 18th century; it’s one of the city’s major landmarks.

Make a stop at the Valkhof park, at in idyllic location with great views of Nijmegen and continue to Sint-Niklaaskapel, the church of Saint Nicholas dating back to 1030. Nearby, you can see the ruins of a Frankish castle and a museum (Museum het Valhkof) that boasts excellent collections of local art and regional history.
