It depends on where you're coming from, but when you're arriving from the western part of the Netherlands, the first thing you want to do is probably get out of that train where you've been seated in for over two hours. The city centre of this student town of the east, is from a walkable distance of the train station.

As a result of its young population and being the main city of Twente, the old heart still beats vividly at the 'Oude Markt'. This square is packed with terraces during summer-time and transforms into a busy nightlife area at night where there is always a 'bruin cafe', such as 'de Kater', where you can have your beer, an 'eetcafe' to have a tasty dish of the day and a disco where you can dance the night away until the early hours. From the Oude Markt, you can set off for one of the many shopping streets that surround the church at the main square. For those interested in Dutch paintings, the Rijksmuseum has an interesting and elaborate collection of Dutch artists.

On the 13th of May 2000, one of Enschede's residential quarters vanished as a result of a fireworks' catastrophe.
