Hey friend! 👋 Nijmegen is my *gezellige* little secret in the Netherlands. So much more than just history! Locals cycle everywhere 🚲, grabbing *koffie* at quirky cafes. The hilly parks are perfect for picnics and sunset walks. Come in spring for the *Vierdaagsefeesten* - it's pure magic ✨. Trust me, you'll fall in love!
