Hire Car Enschede Tips, Experiences & Comparison

Discover Enschede by Hire Car

The town of Enschede gained sad notoriety for the explosion of a fireworks warehouse in 2001

Today, a tour of the rebuilt affected neighbourhood is just as informative as a visit to the Rijksmuzeum, where the story of the explosion as well as the reconstruction occupies a large space of the exhibitions alongside numerous works of art.

Sights in Enschede

Worth a visit and accessible in Enschede are not only many churches, but also the synagogue.

This is open to visitors on Wednesdays and Sundays and has a small shop where high-quality art and cultural items can be purchased. Shortly before Passover, the matzos required for the festival are also sold here.

For shopping, there are numerous markets in addition to the shops in the pedestrian zone of the city centre; during the Christmas season, this city is still one of the few Dutch cities to hold a Christmas market.

Also in the city centre are numerous pubs, cafés and some typical Dutch coffee shops.

Leisure activities in Enschede

The annual music festival is very well known. But also outside the festival, sound art is omnipresent here. Numerous concerts are offered in the music school as well as in churches and while shopping you can almost always listen to the performances of street musicians.

Sculpture lovers mostly rate the bronze statue of a newspaper reader, which can be seen in the pedestrian zone, as the most beautiful sculpture in the city of Enschede. Nature can also be found in Enschede on a large scale. In addition to a contiguous forest area, several parks invite you to take a walk and relax.

When staying in Enschede, excursions to the neighbouring Hengelo as well as to delimiting German cities such as Ahaus and Gronau are recommended. For this, hiring a hire car makes a lot of sense.
