The city of Arnhem boasts an incredibly rich historical past. Today, numerous "reminders" of it remain: ancient monuments and old buildings. In Arnhem, you can visit the fort of Sabelspoort, which, by some miracle, has survived through the centuries. The fort stands on the site of an old fortress that witnessed many battles. After the citizens cleared the area for new construction, magnificent palaces and numerous parks were built here, adding beauty to the city.

Arnhem is home to many historical landmarks from the Second World War, including the John Frost Bridge, the site of important military operations. Although it was completely destroyed, it was rebuilt in 1950. Next to the bridge, a memorial plaque has been installed to honor the soldiers. Every year, the city celebrates the anniversary of the military operation "Market Garden." There are still many more beautiful places in Arnhem worth visiting, should you have the good fortune to explore this charming city.

On the southern bank of the Waal River lies the city of Nijmegen, a major industrial center where brick manufacturing, the chemical industry, tobacco production, and electrical equipment manufacturing are especially well developed. One of the most curious constructions, shaped like a whale, is located on the Waal's riverbank — it’s the river fleet control center, as Nijmegen also serves as a river port. Nearby stands a sculpture of the fictional heroine Mariken van Nijmegen, who has become a symbolic figure for the city.

Nijmegen is also home to the fascinating National Bicycle Museum “Velorama.” Interestingly, it is the only museum of its kind in the Netherlands, despite the country’s well-known love of cycling. The museum’s exhibitions display the beauty and diversity of bicycle transport. Today, its collection includes over 500 bicycles.
