Watch the video about sports in Nijmegen.

Sports is popular to Nijmegen's inhabitants. You’ll find the sporty student at the Batavierenrace, but also at the ultramodern university-gym 'Gymnasion' or during the famous event Four Days Marches. In fine weather, there’s always a pavement café or park in the neighbourhood where you can walk, skate, run, study (or relax). Or a lake beach to just laze on. Less than fifteen minutes by bike or car from the city centre, you’ll be surprised by the fabulous scenery. If you want to go for a walk or a run or go in-line skating or cycling, then the forests and the Ooijpolder are just the right places for you.
Nijmegen and its surroundings offer many things to see and do in your free time: read more about sightseeing, sports & nature, and walking.

But to get to know the rest of the Netherlands, you might also want to go on some daytrips across the country.
