Food Scene

Directly next to CASPAR. Nice restaurant with average pricing in a beautiful building (former post office). It offers good atmosphere and surprising meals. I'd recommend going there second half of the day (lunch or dinner).

Located down on the Rijnkade (John Frost Bridge), a new Food Hall concept can be found. Pricing is a little above average but the atmosphere is nice and the food is great. Nice seating area (high / low) next to the big wood stove, good for visits during winter. A big trendy bar in the middle of it all finishes the concept.

Lovely place in the woods just outside of Arnhem (10minutes by car). Go here to catch a fresh breeze and a proper lunch. Also good to visit during winter, then they’ll have fire places to sit next to. I highly recommend !

Sightseeing

The John Frost Bridge is well known around the globe because of it's strategic point during WWII. During 'Operation Market Garden', the Brittish fought here against the Germans for days. This museum tells you more about this event and you'll have a very nice view of the bridge as well. I suggest going here; the entrance is free. However, it's small so you won't need much time. I would combine it with something else.

More crowded park than Klarenbeek. It has a large sunny open field where you can BBQ, play of relax, but also a lot of small trails thoughtout the forest where you can walk or run. All year long (but especially during summer), a variety of events are organized here.

This fully renovated train station received the 'European Concrete Award' in 2016. So the building itself is already an attraction. Further you can find here trains to all major NL cities | International trains to Germany and further | Bicycle rental | Busses. If you're going to travel by train I can recommend using the 'NS Reisplanner' App!
