Transportation

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 physical or e-ticket to open the gates that lead to the platforms. For more information, see this website.

You can also buy a OV-card. The card itself costs €7.50 and gives you access to all public transport (including busses). You’ll need to load money onto the card before you can use it to pay for busses, trains etc. For more information on the OV-card, visit this website.

Local bus information

For information on local travel by bus, you can go to www.9292.nl or use the 9292 app to see itineraries, fares, and live updates. On buses, you can pay with an OV-card or buy a single ticket from the bus driver with your debit or credit card. If you have an OV-card, you must press it on the card reader when you get on the bus, but also when you get off.

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 getting off 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 number 12 (towards Druten), 15 (towards Wijchen) and 300 (towards Nijmegen Heyendaal). 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.
