Culture

Netherland's oldest city retains little of its ancient buildings, but many historic sites remain alongside diverse museums and fine parks.

Few Roman remains are visible today; a fragment of the old city wall can be seen near the casino and the foundations of the amphitheatre are traced in the paving of the present-day Rembrandtstraat. The Valkhof museum, on the Valkhof, has a permanent display of the history of Nijmegen. Take a walk through town and see the 15C town hall, the Great Market, a 16C weighing hall, the entrance to St. Stephen's church courtyard, a 15C Latin school, the 13C St. Stevenskerk, as well as a series of small seventeenth-century houses that now serve as trinket shops. Nijmegen is also home to several interesting and impressive museums.

My sons and I had the best time together driving from Rome to Normandy. The trip was trouble-free. I really appreciated that the person who called me to finalize my travel reservations let me know that one of the hotels was not available. She made sure that I got a comparable hotel for almost the same price as my original choice. It made me feel good that there were still companies that cared about their clients.

We had a great holiday and congratulate you on the way in which you organised this holiday for us. The vast majority of hotels were absolutely excellent. We would certainly use your service again and will be happy to recommend you without reservations. We are hoping to book another holiday with you later in the year.
