ENSCHEDE,
A BUSTLING STUDENT CITY

THERE ARE STUDENTS EVERYWHERE, AND COOL EVENTS TO ENJOY ALL YEAR ROUND, SUCH AS FRESHTIVAL AT RUTBEEK PARK, THE SUPERHIP GOGBOT AND, OF COURSE, THE BIG KING’S DAY FESTIVAL.
Enschede offers you the most versatile choice of shops in the Eastern Netherlands. The weekly street market attracts a lot of visitors from the region and from across the German border. The city centre offers a pleasant mix of department stores, boutiques, and food and drinks. Right in the middle of the city centre you will find De Oude Markt: the most convivial square in the Netherlands.
Surrounding the Grote Kerk Church are several cafés, restaurants, bars and clubs. During hot summer days the terraces quickly fill up with people enjoying the sun and drinks. In the evenings, the restaurants and bars offer a great place for socializing and enjoying yourself.
