Arnhem
Arnhem is a bustling town where you will never get bored. Whatever your interests - shopping, going out, culture or the countryside -, Arnhem is the place to be for an unforgettable stay.
Arnhem
Arnhem, the capital of the province of
Gelderland, has a rich and eventful past, partly preserved in a number of
historic buildings such as the Maarten van Rossemhuis (also called Duivelshuis –
“Devil’s House”), Sabelpoort and Presickhaeffs Huys.
Restored to their
former glory and joined underneath one of the shopping streets, the 40 medieval
cellars show you what underground Arnhem used to look like. Guided tours are
available to the public as are individual visits. The history of the town is
reflected in the town centre itself as well as in 100-year-old Sonsbeek park,
where you can take a rest in the heart of the town! The Church of Eusebius
dominates the skyline. This late Gothic ogive basilica boasts a unique glass
lift, rising to 73 metres and offering you a view of the attractive shopping
centre. On your way up you will also see the biggest carillon in
Europe!
Fashion
Arnhem has been one of the 10 most attractive shopping areas in
the Netherlands for years, boasting a range of large chain stores and little
clothes shops. A fashion town in many ways, Arnhem has something for everyone.
ArtEZ School of Fashion and a number of well-known labels and designers such as
G-sus, Humanoid, Viktor & Rolf and People of the Labyrinths have turned
Arnhem into an attractive town for those with a passion for fashion. Arnhem is
pervaded with fashion, which is reflected in the many clothes shops.
Museum
The
town also boasts a wide and varied range of museums – including ones on art,
water, wine and history - as well as major attractions such as Burgers’ Zoo and
the Dutch Open-air Museum. Your day, evening or weekend in Arnhem should not end
until you have been to Korenmarkt, the bustling entertainment centre. So whether
you like shopping or going out, walking or cycling, visiting major attractions
or simply prefer more energetic pursuits, Arnhem is the place to be for an
unforgettable stay!
