The Second World War and in particular the bombardment on 22 February 1944 have had a great impact on Nijmegen's city centre. We walk through the city and on one side of the street you can still see the old historic buildings and on the other side of the street you can see the buildings that were erected after the Second World War. Beautiful, but also sad stories about the lives of the inhabitants of Nijmegen during this violent period. Why is there a swing with a fence around it in the city, what do the little shields you see on the ground everywhere mean? Your local guide in Nijmegen will tell you the answers to these questions and of course many more during this fascinating tour in Nijmegen.
