    If you are a tango-passionnate, don't miss the chained salon-weekend of El Corte where you can dance tango on Saturday from 5pm to 5am and then again the afternoon of the Sunday. There, you can meet the most craziest tango-freaks and best dancers! You can experience the life in a dance community all weekend long, sleeping on the dance floor a few hours, taking a footh bath in a very cool atmosphere and taking breakfast with all your dance partners :-)

    See http://www.elcorte.com

    El Corte had its 16th anniversary at the end of March and organized for this occasion a Tango festival "Doble Ocho". Cfr doble ocho tango festival website and description on the Nijmegen homepage.

    Dancing with Cor(azon)!

    "Een dans...zoals een liefdesgedicht...

    Versmelten,
    In elkaar verdrinken,
    Zich laven aan de tango,
    Wegdrijven in de muziek,
    Dansend, soepel als een panter,
    Tot het eerste morgenlicht...."

    Cheering to the incoming fourdays-marchers, handing over flowers and supporting the once that barely manage to get to the finish-line.
    ... and ...
    Sit down at the Waalkay on a terrace and enjoy the ships float by on the mighty river Waal (the most densely used river in the world!).

    Take a look near the Waalbrug to see the river Waal.

    The Waalkade is a boulevard along the river, with lots of opportunities to eat and go out.

    At the Waalkade is also the casino and two museums, namely De Stratemakerstoren and Velorama.

    If you go up the stairs next to the casino. You can take a walk into the Valkhofpark. Once the Valkhof was a mighty castle of as they call him often 'Charle Magne' . Unfortunately there are only ruïns now.

    A beautiful site on the Waalkade is: www.waalkadenijmegen.nl

    Restaurants, Bars and other tips are mentioned. There is one problem the site is in dutch.

    Going out and have a nice meal in one of the attractive restaurants.

    Valkhof

    Nijmegen has roman origins. It was the city of Noviomagus. Later, in the 9th century, Charlemagne settled here and built Het Valkhof, that was also used by Barbarossa.

    During the second world war, the old city was heavily damaged. It has taken a long time for the city to recover. Specially the 'low town' near the river is really nice now. Picture: The Valkhof in the snow.

  • Take a walk along the riverside, sit on a terrace and watch the ships (and people) go by.

    Arriving from the north by train, bus, car or bike, you can see my city in full glory. And then I'm proud and can even get sentimental...
