ISR 2026 — 15th International School on Rewriting

Traveling to Nijmegen by public transport

Nijmegen Central Station is easily reachable by train. There is a direct train from Schiphol Airport, and from several train stations with international connections such as Arnhem, Venlo and Breda. There is also a direct bus from airport Weeze.

You can plan your train travel within the Netherlands easily through https://www.ns.nl, or train and bus travel through https://9292.nl.

You can also come by car; parking near the university is rather expensive, but is included for the accommodation (but let us know if you plan to do this, because the number of parking spots is limited).

Reaching the accommodation

You are welcome in the accommodation from Saturday evening, 11 July. The location is Wylerbaan 2a Groesbeek. There is a bus stop by the accommodation, serviced by bus 5, which rides every 10 minutes during week days, every 15 minutes on Saturdays, and every 30 minutes on Sundays. From central station, you can directly take bus 5 (in the direction Groesbeek Breedeweg); from the university, it's about a 13 minute walk to reach bus stop Groenewoudseweg where you can also take bus 5.

Reaching the university

The university, and in particular the Mercator building where the school is held, is easily reachable by both train and buses, to bus/train stop Nijmegen Heyendaal.

Renting a bike

If you want to go into the city rather than staying at the accommodation, the most convenient way to get around Nijmegen is actually by bicycle! Like most places in the Netherlands, Nijmegen is very safe for cycling, with bike lanes or separate paths present on nearly all streets.

However, there is a disclaimer: the route between the venue and the accommodation has some very steep parts, which might make cycling this route unpleasant (especially if you are not used to cycling, or are used to cycling in flat areas). So if you choose to cycle, you may want to consider either bringing a clean shirt to the venue, or paying the extra money for an e-bike.

Some possible places to rent from are Sanders rental in Groesbeek, or Veluwe Actief in Nijmegen Lent.
