Things to Do  

Burgers Zoo

Burgers Zoo, Arnhem

 13 Reviews  It's a very nice place to spend a day. On one and the same day you can “visit” Africa, Safari, Desert and Ocean. The animals here are kept like in the real nature. I liked a set of cafes located in beautiful places of the Zoo. Sitting in a cafe is a great way to enjoy a beautiful view and wild... 

Open Air Museum

Open Air Museum, Arnhem

 9 Reviews  The Netherlands Open Air Museum uses authentic buildings, objects and true stories to bring the past to life. The museum, with its farmyards, farmhouses, cottages and businesses, the farmer's cafe and shops, is a hive of activity. To see everything there, you have to spend all day there, but it's... 

Devil's House - Duivelshuis

Devil's House - Duivelshuis, Arnhem

 5 Reviews  Mysterious and a gloomy building named Duivelshuis or “Devil’s House”. The basement of this building served as temporary prison for captured British parachutists during Oparation Market Garden in September 1944. A German MG team was also positioned here. Today, there are still bullet holes in the... 

St Eusebius Church

St Eusebius Church, Arnhem

 8 Reviews  The tower of this church is visible from everywhere in the city. if to rise on the lift by a survey platform it's possible to see how Arnhem is beautiful . when I was in Arnhem the church was restored and the photo with a townscape doesn't show all beauty of a look. This church is very beautiful and... 

Airborne Museum

Airborne Museum, Arnhem

 6 Reviews  A visit to this famous museum based on the momentous events of the doomed Operation Market Garden during nine days from 17 - 25 September 1944 is a must for anyone with the slightest interest in history and specially in the history of WW2. You may have seen the film "A Bridge Too Far" or read... 

Sonsbeek Park

Kroller Muller Museum

Kroller Muller Museum, Arnhem

 2 Reviews  This was one of the most unforgettable moments of my 5 months so far here in the Netherlands. After a long confusing bus ride to Hoge Veluwe, visitors can purchase an entrance fee to the museum and use of the many white bicycles to pedal to the museum. The Van Goghs are then appreciated in an aspect...

Study the Arts aside the Rhine

Study the Arts aside the Rhine, Arnhem

 shrimp56 Says:  The Arnhem branch ArtEZ Institute of the Arts is in a modern building down by the river. I'm not sure how "open" it is normally for the casual visitor, but I was with my friend who worked there for a time. It was between terms, so very quiet and great for photographing. The...

Hypermodern stadion "Gelredome" first in it's kind, Arnhem

 Pavlik_NL Says:  The football-stadion from Vitesse Arnhem was the first in it's kind. The fact that the roof could be opened and closed is - of course - not that special, but that the playingfields (grass) can be slided outside the stadion ... that is a technological highlight never seen...
