Markt and Weverstraat merge to form the commercial centre of Arnhem. The area is ideal for keen shoppers who want the full spread of high-street stores at their fingertips. Those with a cultural interest in the city will also appreciate the landmarks and museums that make Markt the historic centre of the city.
Foodies who crave a full spread of global cuisine will flurry for Weverstraat’s choice of tastes from Greek to Indonesian. At night, Weverstraat is the life of Arnhem’s party with an exciting selection of brewpubs, indie bars, and rave clubs.
Although Markt and Weverstraat are home to the biggest fashion brands, true fashion fiends might prefer to stay in Klarendal. This hipster fashion district is all about designer-to-door fashion, independent labels, and unique finds.
Families might prefer the fun and adventures promised by Alteveer-Cranevelt, a quaint neighbourhood a few kilometres north of the historic centre. Surrounded by parkland, and a number of family attractions including Burgurs’ Zoo, it offers the perfect contrast to the busy city.
History buffs might prefer to stay in adjoining city Nijmegen, The Netherland’s oldest city. With some landmarks dating back 1000 years and others reminiscent of World War II, there’s so much to see, but with cute outdoor cafes at every turn too, you might prefer to sit back and soak up the city with a coffee in hand.
With trolleys running across the city, it’s really easy to explore Arnhem. There are also regular trains that can transport you between Arnhem and Nijmegen in 12 minutes.
