We've been to Enschede a few times. The market there isn't bad. The special fries and the kibberlings are really tasty. In my opinion, it's worth going there to shop for clothes.

Sparkling, radiant, glittering, and luminous – "Enschede Lights Up" is a chance to experience the city in a completely different light. We gladly took advantage of this opportunity and visited several stations along the light trail, showcasing iconic buildings and landmarks throughout the city.

We especially enjoyed "BREATHE," "DIVING IN THE SEA OF COLORS," and "HIMMELSLICHT" with its Gregorian chants.

June 29, 2024,•Enschede / NL 🇳🇱• Die ShoppingStadt

On the second day (Saturday) of our weekend trip we wanted to visit Enschede.

Enschede is known as the shopping city, which is located directly on the German-Dutch border. A shopping paradise! Whether you want to buy food, decorations, clothing or Dutch specialties.

The city is also said to have a lot of art and culture.

December 11, 2025,NL: Enschede in vorweihnachtlicher Zeit, Teil 1

Until "Enschede Lights Up" starts at 5:00 PM, we take advantage of the surprisingly sunny weather for a leisurely stroll through the city, stocking up on cheese, Kruidnoten (a type of Dutch sausage), and other typical Dutch delicacies. The shopping streets and narrow alleyways are festively decorated with numerous Christmas lights, illuminated Christmas trees, garlands, and stars.
