Tips

From the bridge at Nijmegen you can see the constant stream of boats and ships sailing beneath you.
And if you stand on the footpath of the railway bridge and look towards the Waalkade, you will read a beautiful saying on one of the buildings, namely:
"When the Waal is out of sight, the imagination flows"

Construction started in 1875, on the site of an ancient Roman bridge, and was completed 4 years later in 1879. It originally consisted of 3 truss arches. The southern land abutment, styled as a medieval city gate, was designed by Dutch architect P.J.H Cuypers. These tower structures served the purposes of protecting the entrance to the city of Nijmegen. The railway bridge's construction meant that train connections to Arnhem were possible, thus Nijmegen was the last major city in the Netherlands to be connected to the national rail network.

At low tide, there is a lot of water in the Waal. Fortunately, this low water is extremely rare. Also with high water the view is great as the Waal is twice as wide.
