The classics in Arnhem

8 places that make the city

The places that make Arnhem: Eusebiuskerk, John Frost Bridge, Sabelspoort and more, with what is on there next.

John Frost Bridge

Outdoors

The steel bridge over the Rhine between the city centre and Arnhem-Zuid, where the Battle of Arnhem was fought in September 1944. It is named after Lieutenant-Colonel John Frost, and the Airborne at the Bridge museum on the Rijnkade looks out on it.

Sabelspoort

Outdoors

A gatehouse between two round towers on the Markt, from the fourteenth century. Walk past it and look at the facade of 1642 on the city side.

Park Sonsbeek

The city's best-known park, a few minutes' walk from the station and the centre, free to walk in. Follow the stream past the ponds and the waterfalls where mills once stood, and the Witte Watermolen, which has ground grain since the fifteenth century.

Burgers' Zoo

A zoo with themed areas such as the Bush, a covered rainforest hall, the Ocean and the Desert.

Museum Arnhem

Art with a view of the Rhine, in exhibitions that change, and a sculpture garden you can enter for free.

Airborne Museum Hartenstein

In Oosterbeek, just outside Arnhem: the museum of the Battle of Arnhem, with a day-by-day account and an underground display of the fighting.
