Arnhem - Culture

Arnhem

Arnhem is one of the most fascinating cities of Holland and has everything necessary for making your stay unforgetable. Whether you enjoy culture, or walking or cycling, whether you want to visit one of the larger attractions, or just want to shop or go out, then Arnhem is the place for you.

Wartime memories
Arnhem knew difficult times during the war. The Rhine bridge played a key role during the Battle of Arnhem (‘A Bridge too Far’). There are many reminders of this period in Arnhem. Those who want to know more about the period ’40 - ’45, can visit the museum of the same name in Arnhem. Those interested in the period of Dutch colonisation of the East Indies should visit the Bronbeek Museum in Arnhem.

Suggestions

• Burgers’ Zoo
  Every day is different in Burgers’ Zoo, every day means the whole year through an unforgetable adventure. That speaks for itself with more than 3000 animals! And if the weather is bad then there is always Burgers’ Bush and Burgers’ Desert. Unique covered-in natural areas that you certainly must visit!
  
  

• Dutch Open Air Museum
  At the Dutch Open Air Museum you can travel on foot or take the old tram through 250 years of stirring history. As you walk or take the tram through the beautiful wooded museumgrounds you will discover that the past is never over!
  

Shopping in Arnhem

Arnhem is the fifth largest shopping centre in Holland, and certainly lives up to its name. It’s pleasant to shop here, as much in the larger shopping streets as in the small alley ways.

Shopping is not only enjoyable, but also very economical if you shop TAX-free. Visitors from outside the European Community have a right to reimbursement of their VAT when they spend a minimum of NLG 300 in one shop on one day and export the goods within 3 months of purchase. Keep a look out for the shops bearing the "Tax-Free For Tourists" logo.
