Infocentrum WO2 as a starting point for Nijmegen

This free information centre gives a first overview of Nijmegen during the Second World War and points visitors towards routes and heritage in the region.

Plan your visit ↗

From occupation to front-line town

A video impression and compact explanation place events in order. Use the centre to learn names and locations before choosing a walk or a more extensive museum.

Market Garden and the Rhineland offensive

Two military operations receive a great deal of attention, but require geographical orientation. Look on the map for where Nijmegen lay in relation to bridges, rivers and the later advance.

Route advice in De Lindenberg

The centre also functions as a tourist point: staff can point you towards town walks and packages. A paid group activity is separate from the free individual display.

Before you go

The centre is open daily, but on Sunday and some public holidays it keeps 12.00–17.00 hours and has specific closing days.
