About this experience
A Pub Trail is a scavenger hunt through Nijmegen, combined with short pub games in cafés that you choose yourselves. For friends, colleagues and families who want to explore the city without feeling like tourists.
You walk together through the city, complete challenges, and play games in the cafés. The group stays together, and the player with the most points wins a prize. Pub Trail Nijmegen is an activity, not a traditional pub crawl.
You choose the cafés yourselves: no fixed bars, no set routes. This gives you the freedom to choose the cafés you want to visit.
Pub Trail Nijmegen is an active and playful experience, much more fun than a standard walking tour.
