Getting a breath of fresh air and strolling through pretty, old streets? Then this is your neighbourhood!

Benedenstad is the part of Nijmegen located on the river Waal, as opposed to the higher part of the city centre. The area was largely spared during World War II, so you will still find beautiful historical buildings and sights here. At the end of the 19th century, this part of the city centre became increasingly impoverished. Due to dilapidation, many old houses were demolished and rebuilt after the war. Enjoy the views over the river Waal and the cosy terraces and restaurants on the Waalkade. Nijmegen's oldest shopping street, Lange Hezelstraat, is located at the edge of this district.
