If cities, like wines, get better with age, then Nijmegen is nearing perfection. Located in the country's southeast, the city recently celebrated its 2007th birthday. Whether you're a history buff, a culture vulture or just a connoisseur of anything Dutch, a private Nijmegen tour will help you explore the city with a story two millennia long.

From the Romans to the Germans, everyone's fought over Nijmegen. The first Dutch city to be invaded during WWII, Nijmegen was mistakenly bombed by the Americans four years later, and was shelled by the Nazis after they withdrew. Most historic buildings didn't survive, but a local guide can show you what remains, from Roman walls to Renaissance houses.

These days, Nijmegen is a vibrant, student-centered city with a plethora of <i>eetcafes</i> - cheap and cheerful restaurants - and the most pubs per square foot in the country. The region is home to some of Europe's northernmost wineries, so ask your local guide to arrange a visit. <i>Proost!</i>
