Nijmegen also called ''Havanna on the Waal'' has many reasons why you should visit this city. When you visit this beautiful city, we think these are highly recommended. We have selected three for you and put them on a Nijmegen painting, so read on!
• The Grote Markt on a Nijmegen painting
The Grote Markt is the center of Nijmegen. The square is filled with very cozy cafes, restaurants and shops. You can also find a super cozy market on this square every week with several national monuments on the edge of the square, including the Boterwaag, the Sint-Stevenspoort and various residential buildings.

• Goffert stadium
The Goffert Stadium is home to professional football club NEC. Since the promotion in 1967, the club has participated most of the time in the Eredivisie. But the club has also had lesser periods when it ended up in the First Division. This is where the club is now also coming out, where it works hard every year to promote again to the Eredivisie, where the club also belongs.
Most supporters will still stick to the highlights of the club's existence. Four cup finals and several appearances in Europe are, of course, fantastic results for a small club like NEC that they can be proud of.
The highest honor as a professional football player in, of course, playing for the national team. The Dutch national team is often full of players from the national and international top clubs, but sometimes a smaller club like NEC also employs eligible players. For NEC, it has happened five times that a player made it to the Dutch national team. These were Jan Peters, Wil Lakenberg, Theo de Jong, Pauke Meijers and last but not least Romano Denneboom in 2004.
A national title is of course not realistic for a club like NEC, but that does not mean that you cannot deliver top performances as a small club. Take, for example, reaching the cup final, which the club succeeded no less than four times! Of course, European football is also a prize in itself.

• The Stevenskerk on a Nijmegen painting
The Sint-Stevenskerk is the symbol of the city of Nijmegen. This church has been the heart of the city for centuries. The construction of the church started in the middle of the 13th century and from the moment the church was completed it has been the eye-catcher in the skyline of Nijmegen!
During the bombing of Nijmegen on February 22, 1944, the tower largely collapsed. The southwestern part of the church was heavily damaged and other parts of the church suffered extensive damage in the period after. After the war ended, the church was thoroughly restored and reopened in 1969.
Today, the Stevenskerk has a connecting meaning for all Nijmegen residents. It is a living monument where a lot is happening: mourning ceremonies, marriages, a running race right through the church and performances by top artists. Today the church has something to offer for everyone. With its program, the church fully implements the city's new city marketing slogan 'Old city' young vibe'.
