Nijmegen Attractions

 
Nijmegen, the largest town in Gelderland (though not its capital, which is Arnhem), with a Roman Catholic University, lies in the south of the province, only 7km/4.5mi from the German frontier on the left bank of the Waal, the southern branch of the Rhine as it approaches the sea. It is dominated by seven hills, the terraced slopes of which have something of the air of a gigantic amphitheater. Nijmegen ranks with Arnhem as one of the two leading towns in the province of Gelderland, with the offices of numerous administrative bodies (including some provincial government departments) and many higher educational establishments and research institutes as well as a university.
