Historical Tour through the Center of Nijmegen | The Oldest City in the Netherlands

The tour lasts 1 hour and 30 minutes
Available in English and Spanish

Description

Discover Nijmegen, the oldest city in the Netherlands, with nearly 2,000 years of history hidden among its streets. We will start at Valkhof Park where we will talk about the history of the Nijmegen castle. We will stroll through corners with centuries of history, from the Roman era to the Dutch, and discover along the Waal River the famous Waalbrug bridge, the scene of the heroic Operation Market Garden.


From there we will walk to Grote Markt, where we will talk about the mysteries of the medieval legend of Mariken van Nieumeghen. We will also pass by Sint Stevenskerk, where you will see with your own eyes the traces of the reconstruction.  I will also show you the hidden secrets of the city that most visitors overlook.
A perfect tour for those who want to understand the soul of this ancient city, beyond the obvious.

Me encanta compartir con los visitantes las capas de historia que se esconden en casa rincón: desde los orígenes romanos hasta la destrucción y reconstrucción tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Mis tours no son simple recorrido por monumentos, sino un relato vivo que conecta el pasado con las calles que pisamos hoy. Me gusta que cada persona termine el paseo viendo la ciudad con otros ojos.
