    Next to the train station you will find a bus stop, from here the busses are going to all parts of the city.

    Tickets are cheaper if you buy a big card with 15 stripes at the small bus office in the train station, than if you buy them in the bus.

    Be aware that there are always two busses that have the same number. So if you travel by bus pay attention to the direction. Information about busses and time tables can also be found in the station and on the boards on the square.

    from the centre
    by danitsja_nl
    Nijmegen has 3 train stations so can be easily reached from several directions by train. The main station is only 5 minutes away from the city centre.

    At the station, under the station square you will find bicycle stabling were you can also rent a bicycle. If you brought your own bicycle I advise you to place it here instead of the parking on the station square.

    If you do not want to take your bags during your city trip to Nijmegen it is possible to put them in one of the lockers that are placed on platform 1A in the train station.

    Please notice that since January 2004 smoking is forbidden in all train stations and trains. Smoking is only allowed in the marked areas.

    Next to the train station you will also find the central bus stop.

    In the city centre it is not allowed to park your bicycle everywhere. If you want to be sure it is still were you left it when you come back I would advise you to put it in the bicycle stabling that can be found at the Keizer Karel Plein corner Bischop Hamer Straat

    "Schubschiff Franz Haniel 16". And a fine push tug it is! Where would Nijmegen be without them? I just love the sight of these boats going up and down the river Waal, sometimes pushing upto four barges in one 'multiple barge convoy set' . People tried to combine six barges in one set, but subsequently they found it very hard to steer through the local bend in the river Waal ...

    At the Waal quay it often looks like a get-together of bikers. I think they are attracted by the surroundings! At the quay it is possible to park your motorbike, and you will often find other bikers on the terraces.

  • There is a railway station, you can go with the train to the most places in the Netherlands.
    By car is it good to come here.

    parkingspot
    by Pavlik_NL
    Nijmegen is situated on the Southbanks of the river Waal and has only one bridge! Driving in from the North often has many delay, as for that one bridge is often a bottlenack in traffic. From other directions Nijmegen is easily entered by car, but - as said at "warnings and dangers" parking is a whole different story.
    Note: during the week of the 4-days march and the international summerfestival, you of course use your feet! Mark that on these days entering town by car is impossible. Other forms of transport are overloaded (busses and trains).

  • Take train or bus. Or come by bike. If you use your car, specially in summertime, you might end up in a big traffic jam. Besides, parking is only possible with use of a special 'chipper'-card (for Dutch people only) or creditcard. Not very friendly, sorry.
    If you use a (hired?) bike, you can put it into a watched parking place FOR FREE! Ask just anybody for the place. People will know and tell you.
