Top 10 Free Things to do in Arnhem, Gelderland Province
A sizable city in its own right, Arnhem is best known today as the site of one of the most famous battles of World War II. Given city rights in 1233, it has long been at the center of conflicts because of its strategic location on the banks of the Rhine River. The Battle of Arnhem, part of Operation Market Garden, was fought in September 1944. Advancing Allied forces, in large part due to a series of mistakes, failed to secure a key bridge and suffered defeat, delaying the Allied advance into Germany until the following spring. The 1977 movie "A Bridge Too Far" was based on the events here.

Park in the Arnhem city center with nice little lakes, fountains, theme gardens and lots of space to enjoy a picnic. We went for the “stadsvila” for lunch.

We visited the Rozet in February this year. This centre is just unbelievable. The size, the books, the clever layout. Its designed to encourage families and children. Well done to the people of Arnhem, and the Netherlands in building such a fantastic amenity.

This museum is close to Arnhem road bridge. It is a single room museum which summarises the entire Op Market Garden effort. The place also serves as an information centre for tourists. The view of river from this glass building is nice. This is THE place if you are short on time yet want a feel of the battle.

The bridge over Rhine is a fitting tribute to John Frost whose soldiering abilities were commended by German opponent Bitterich. The bridge is currently being decorated with gaint tv screen for 75th annivarsary of Battle of Arnhem. The bridge gives good view of the Rhine river and is great place for an evening stroll.
