Episode Description

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.

But Nijmegen has much more to offer. From lively nights out and exceptional restaurants to charming shops and endless walking and cycling routes through the Rijk van Nijmegen. Here, city life and nature are always close at hand.

In this episode of Orange Horizons, we discover Nijmegen: Old City, Young Vibe.
