ABOUT PAPENDAL ARNHEM
Arnhem
Arnhem is a bustling town where you will never get bored. Whatever your interests shopping, going out, culture, or the countryside - might be.
The historic town centre of Arnhem is definitely worth a visit. Restored to their former glory
and joined underneath one of the shopping streets, the 40 medieval cellars show you what
underground Arnhem used to look like. The history of the town is reflected in the town centre
itself as well as in 100-year-old Sonsbeek park, where you can take a rest in the heart of the
town! The Church of Eusebius dominates the skyline. This late Gothic ogive basilica boasts a
unique glass lift, rising to 73 metres and offering you a view of the centre. On your way up
you will also see the biggest carillon in Europe!
Arnhem has been one of the most attractive shopping areas in the Netherlands for years,
boasting a range of large chain stores and little clothes shops. Arnhem has turned into an
attractive town for those with a passion for fashion. Your day, evening or weekend in Arnhem
should not end until you have been to Korenmarkt, the bustling entertainment centre.
For style and culture, visit Arnhem and surrounding. Here you find the famous Kröller-Müller
Museum with its extensive sculpture garden. The Netherlands Open Air Museum, the famous
Ouwehands Zoo and Burgers’ Zoo are also close at hand.
Discover the wonderful forests of the National Park “de Hoge Veluwe”. This park is the
largest continuous national park in the Netherlands. The area consists of 5,400 hectares of
forest, heathland, marshland and drift-sand. There is a great diversity of plant and animal
species and the Park is home to very rare species of thrush.
Together with the Jachthuis Sint Hubertus, the Visitor Centre/Museonder, the Kröller-Müller
Museum and the statues garden, the Park forms a unique and (inter)nationally famous
combination of nature, art and architecture. To discover more about Arnhem visit:
