Nijmegen, municipality in Gelderland, Netherlands
Nijmegen extends along the Waal River, featuring a medieval center with stone buildings, modern districts, and numerous parks across its territory.
The settlement originated as Noviomagus Batavorum, a Roman military camp established in the first century AD, marking the beginning of Dutch urban development.
The Four Days Marches, held annually in July, brings together thousands of participants who walk set routes through the region and surrounding municipalities.
The central train station connects directly to Amsterdam, Utrecht, and German cities, while local buses provide transportation to all districts and neighborhoods.
The Waalsprong project north of the Waal River includes the construction of 11,000 new residential units, expanding the city's capacity.
