About LGBTQ+ Nijmegen

The Netherlands became the first country in the world to open marriage to same-sex couples, in 2001. Nijmegen, the oldest city in the country and a lively university town near the German border, keeps a small but warm scene in its centre.

Bar De Regenboog on Van Welderenstraat is a gay party bar with a 1980s and 90s club feel and Eurovision hits, and Marcus Antonius on Sint Anthoniusplaats is a cosy gay bar with a dance floor.
