Airports
The nearest airports to Nijmegen are Schiphol and Eindhoven in the Netherlands, and Dusseldorf and Weeze in Germany; all except Weeze are international airports. Nijmegen is approximately a 90 minute train-ride from each one of them.
Trains
To organize your train travel you can use www.nsinternational.com (for international trips), and www.ns.nl for local trains. Both are available as phone apps as well. You can also find train schedules on www.9292.nl or the 9292 app.
You can buy tickets online in the NS app or at the vending machines at the train stations. At the train stations, you’ll need a ticket (either online or a physical ticket) to open the gates that lead to the platforms. For more information, see this website.
You can also buy a OV-card (costs for the card: €7,50) which gives you access to all public transport (including busses). You’ll need to load money onto this card and then you can use the card to pay for busses and trains etc. For more information on this OV-card, see this website.
Local bus information
For local travel by bus, you can go to www.9292.nl or use the 9292 app. This provides itineraries, fares, and live updates. In the busses, you can also pay with a OV-card or buy a single ticket with the bus driver with your debit or credit card. If you have a OV-card, you must press that on the card reader when you step into the bus, but also when you leave the bus.
If you are staying in central Nijmegen, the easiest way to reach the Berchmanianum is by taking the number 10 bus from the bus stop to the left (as you face) the train station and get out at stop ‘Erasmusgebouw’. Other buses also go to the University leaving from the bus terminal to the right (as you face) the train station, for example bus numbers 12 (towards Druten), 15 (towards Wijchen) and 300 (towards Nijmegen Heyendael). You can always ask the bus driver if the bus stops at stop ‘Erasmusgebouw’ and the bus driver will tell you if you have the right bus.
