Sustainable shopping in Nijmegen: this is the place to be!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you like (sustainable) shopping, Nijmegen is the place to be. What a relief not to see only the big well-known chains for once. As soon as you walk into the shopping street (Lange Hezelstraat and Stikke Hezelstraat), your green heart will start beating faster. It is clear: in Nijmegen they love sustainable shopping. A second-hand children's shop called Children's Good<\/a>, a Dille & Kamille, but also a Salvation Army ReShare store immediately caught my eye. During your city walk, don't forget to take the occasional side road or alley. You want the oldest caf\u00e9 in the Netherlands (according to the locals, that is) In the Blue Hand<\/a> and the St Stephen's Church<\/a> don't miss out, of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
