Discover Arnhem
Arnhem stands on the Nederrijn where southern Veluwe slopes meet the river region. This change in elevation gives the city a distinctive Dutch setting. Both water and wooded higher ground are necessary to understand its form.

Bridges across the river
Crossings link urban areas and connect with remembrance of the Battle of Arnhem in 1944. That wartime chapter is important without representing the city's entire history.
A landscape transition within the city
The older centre, northern slopes and southern neighbourhoods occupy different environments. Their relationship reveals an active regional centre shaped by much more than one event. Arnhem's river boundary and higher terrain continue to influence development within a varied urban landscape.
