These are the hotspots of Nijmegen East

One of the nicest neighborhoods in Nijmegen is the bustling one Nijmegen East. Cargo bike mothers, students, hip coffee shops and true Nijmegen residents come together here, it is always fun here and people are always up for a chat. You can walk straight from the city onto the Daalseweg and then continue your route with a cup of coffee in hand to the beautiful buildings along the Berg and Dalseweg. In the spring, the streets turn pastel with trees full of blossoms and a bottle of wine is spontaneously opened in the sun in front of the house. We love this delicious piece Nimma City. 

Bodhi Yogashala

Bodhi Yogashala

Yoga is nice, yoga is zen, yoga is healthy. Yes, Nijmegen East can also consider itself lucky to have one Bodhi location! Here you can take weekly lessons in different yoga styles: pilates, yin, hatha, yin-yang, gentle flow and SUP yoga. Something for everyone. Add coffee Billy's after, and you feel reborn.

Looijenga

Looijenga

A real pastry shop on the Berg en Dalseweg Looijenga, a household name in Nijmegen for years and the best chocolates. Here you will feel like a child in a candy store and it will be difficult to choose, because the display case is full of petit fours, hazelnut meringues, luxurious pies and MUCH more. Tip: walk up the Berg en Dalseweg and dive into a side street, it is bursting with beautiful houses. While enjoying a curated box of chocolates, of course...

Neighborhood Café Adriaan

Neighborhood Café Adriaan

The name says it all, really: Neighborhood Café Adriaan It is the ultimate living room of Nijmegen East. It is the kind of barrier-free place where you can step inside in the morning for a good cup of coffee, but just as easily drop by in the afternoon for tasty local craft beer and a nice snack. The atmosphere is wonderfully relaxed, the team incredibly hospitable, and on sunny days, the terrace is a great place to be. Whether you come for a relaxed lunch or a spontaneous drink with the neighborhood, Adriaan feels immediately familiar.

AYA Nijmegen

AYA Nijmegen

For a serving of Asian food in the East, we head to AYAThe interior once again has a living room vibe (we like!) with atmospheric lighting and a pleasant, lively energy. The menu is full of Asian dishes: from all day noodles from flavorful beef rendang to crispy appetizers. Combine all those flavors with one of their cocktails or a nice glass of wine, and you've got yourself a wonderful evening out.
