Discover Arnhem’s story-rich historic centre on an engaging walking tour led by a local expert. In just 1.5 hours, you’ll get an essential introduction to the city’s architecture and past—packed with fascinating details, but delivered in a light, entertaining way.

Begin at Sabelspoort, Arnhem’s last remaining city gate, and learn how the medieval city once defended itself. Continue into the old centre to the Market Square, where you’ll see how Arnhem reinvented itself after WWII, including the striking House of the Province. Next, admire the late-Gothic Eusebius Church from the outside and hear what makes it one of the city’s most iconic landmarks.

From there, stand between the old and new City Hall to explore Arnhem’s blend of historic and modern governance, then slip into the intimate Stegenkwartier (alley quarter)—a maze of hidden streets where centuries of daily life still linger. Along the way you’ll pass the city’s oldest butcher shop and its oldest pub, and hear the surprising storey of the Beatles spending a night in Arnhem.

At the former pig market, take in what many consider one of the Netherlands’ most beautiful old post offices before finishing at Korenmarkt, Arnhem’s lively entertainment square. End in the city centre with fresh tips on where to eat, drink, and what to explore next.
