Shopping in the city centre of Arnhem. Arnhem has four major shopping streets, that are connected. They are the Roggestraat, Ketelstraat, Vijzelstraat, Rijnstraat. It's a pedestrian zone and has a length of appr. 1.5 km. On the left and right side of these Mainstreets there are several small streets with little shops and boutiques. Also in the southern part of the city there is a shopping mall, offering free parking, called "Kronenburg". It has a variety of shops, bars and snackshops.

Eat
- Arnhemse meisjes ('Arnhem girls') some local cookie.
Also use the diversity of the international restaurants. In the Sonsbeekparc there is a fantastic Chinese restaurant called "Sonsbeek paviljoen". Also I would give a recommendation for the Italian Restaurant Zilli & Zilli. You can find it at the Jansplein in the heart of the city. It is a classical Italian Restaurant on the ground floor and an exclusive Italian Restaurant on the first floor. My Advice is to look around in the city as there are so many types of restaurants. Try them all!
