Plantjesmarkt
On every Sunday the Janskerhof square is filled with plants and flowers. I enjoy strolling around and admiring all the different flower arrangements, it is a great study break from the Drift library!

Sports centre Olympos
One spot I can highly recommend to all students is the university gym – it has a variety of classes to choose from, is fully equipped with machines and has plenty of open space for stretching or individual workouts. I think it has been really helpful to have a space to release stress in between the high-pressure environment of my Masters course.

Book shop Broese
This book shop has an impressive selection of books and stationery to choose from with both English and Dutch options.

Fortress bij Rijnauwen
This is a favorite spot of mine because of the beautiful area with cozy cafes in the middle of nature. I enjoy going for a walk or a bike ride with friends here because of the peaceful surroundings.

Sanju Ramen Voorstraat
If you love ramen, this place is definitely worth a visit. It has really good dishes at affordable prices located very close to the Drift library.
