Fuckin'A. PJ in Nijmegen. Official Nijmegen thread

Nickrand

No experience with taxis in that area, but it should be easy to catch the last train at 00:14. If you figure Pearl Jam starts around 20:45 and their show lasts 2 hours 20 minutes, that means it will end between 23:00 and 23:15 or so. That leaves plenty of time to walk.

I've heard there will be buses running from the concert to the Nijmegen station too. And there's an easy and cheap connection to Elst once you get to the Nijmegen station.

Anyone have any idea what time the show will start and what time the gates will open? I know the 10C will e-mail details when we get closer, but I am curious.

Also, I'll be staying in Nijmegen the night before and the night of the show. Does anyone have any ideas of what should be seen tourist-wise in the area. It's my first time in europe and only my third and fourth nights in europe (first 2 in Amsterdam).

Any help is appreciated.

Cheers.

It wouldn't surprise me that the shows start at 5pm.

Dunno if it's much help, I've been there twice. The center has a nice square with restaurants, bars and when I was there a market, it's quite central and a good place to start. It was summer when I was there and we had a sort of picknick on the riverbed of the Waal (river) which was a 10 or so minute walk thru the old center. There's a lot of small streets and every bar closed at 2am

I have a crew of 6 People coming over from the States for Copenhagen and Nijmegen. My wife and four of our friends, and we can't wait!! Thanks for all of the helpful information on the Trains and Planes. We'll be in staying in Amsterdam, at an awesome little hotel called The Winston. We'd love to meet up with some folks. Familiar with the area, but not with Nijmegen really. Let me know if there are any folks gathering in Adam on the 27th. Or Nijmegen on the 28th. Cheers!

Also - Any other cheap planes from CPH to AMS ? Other than http://booking.transavia.com/Select.aspx ....

Hi everyone

Is Arnhem far away from Nijmegen? I've heard they were a youth Hostel close to
Arnhem Do you think after the show, they will be any public transport to get you from Nijmegen to Arnhem?

Thanks for helping me out...

By the way i'm open to any great ideas concerning accomodation

15 to 20 minutes by train.

There definitely will be trains after the concert, when you leave the park inmediately after the concert...

thanks mate.

I'll be probably booking up this youth hostel in Arnhem.
Has someone been there before? would they recommend this hostel?

Ok so we're booked at Hotel Catharina. I went on viamichelin.com to check the distance from there to the Park, and it says it is 4.5km away and 10 minutes driving distance.

Now, the obsessive part of my personality keeps checking and double-checking and triple-checking to make sure i've done everything right for this little PJ tour, so if any kind soul wants to double-check to make sure i've got the right directions and distance, i'd greatly appreciate it!

Also, has anyone stayed at Hotel Catharina? It looks nice and dainty! And it was cheap too!

Syl

Looks alright to me! http://maps.google.nl/maps?f=d&hl=nl&ie=UTF8&z=7&t=h&om=1

Your hotel is fully booked by now! Looks nice indeed by the way
