B&B and Hotel at the Cargo Bike Festival

 
When you come to the International Cargo Bike Festival in Nijmegen you can stay at two lovely ships in De Lindenberghaven (harbour) in Nijmegen. The two riverboats ‘Opoe Sientje’ and ‘Orca’ are turned into great B&B facilities. From here it is only a 10 - 15 minutes ride by bike to the Cargo Bike Festival at the Vasim.

                            One of the rooms of Opoe Sientje

On the websites you can see more pictures of the different rooms of Opoe Sientje and the Orca  The information on the website is only in Dutch, but you can mail and/or call in English. +31 (0) 6 13 62 42 55 , E-mail: Opoe Sientje or +31 (0)6 13 11 61 84, E-mail: Guestship Orca
