About
About Arnhem
Arnhem is a city and municipality situated in the eastern part of the Netherlands, near the German border. It is the capital of the province of Gelderland and its second-most populous municipality (after Nijmegen), located on both banks of the rivers Nederrijn and Sint-Jansbeek, which was the source of the city's development.
Though the early tracks of settlements showed that the early residents of Arnhem descended from the forests on the hills, Arnhem was not built on the banks of the river Rhine, but a little higher along the Sint-Jansbeek. Arnhem arose on the location where the road between Nijmegen and Utrecht/Zutphen split.

Local knowledge
Eating, drinking and staying safe in Arnhem
Eat
Typical to Arnhem are the Arnhemse meisjes ('Arnhem girls'), a local type cookie. You can also enjoy a wide variety of traditional Dutch treats, such as stroopwafels, at many vendors and stores in Arnhem's city center. There's a wide variety of restaurants, especially in and near the city center, but also in the Kronenburg shopping center. If you don't have a Taco Bell in your country, there is one near the central train station. Burger King has plant-based burgers for the same price as the ones with meat, including hamburger and cheeseburger.
Drink
For Arnhem's nightlife visit one of the many pubs, clubs and bars on and near the Korenmarkt, including The Cavern, Bloopers, Jules, Aspen Valley, The Manhattan and The Move. The nightlife in Arnhem is predominantly active on weekends after midnight; on weekdays or before 12 on weekends you can expect to find most clubs mostly empty.
Stay safe
The Musispark is considered to be one of the least safe parts of Arnhem. Homeless people tend gather near the Musispark at night. And there's occasional news of stabbings at the park. If you're in Arnhem in the late of night, it's best to avoid the park or to make sure you're in a larger group. As is the case in most of Europe, the police, ambulance, or fire brigade can be reached by calling 112.
