About Sterrenberg
Where to stay in Sterrenberg
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Sterrenberg is compact ground. Anyone sleeping here chooses a residential pocket of Arnhem over the centre, taking Menthenberg and Villa Middaghoogte as the local landmarks and the ride into the city for everything else, which is a fair bargain for a street that keeps its own hours. The pace stays domestic.
Traffic thins early.
About Sterrenberg
What are the main landmarks in Sterrenberg?
Sterrenberg's landmarks amount to a pair. Menthenberg and Villa Middaghoogte are what the Arnhem register records inside Sterrenberg, which leaves the museums, mills and memorials of the wider municipality, Moscowa and the National Sports Centre Papendal and Sonsbeek Park among them, for a day out rather than an evening walk. Short walks are the rule in Sterrenberg.
A district of 26 hectares is crossed on foot in minutes.
What is the history of Sterrenberg?
The record here is thin and residential. Menthenberg and Villa Middaghoogte are the two entries the register carries, one of them a house whose designation states what it is before anyone reaches the door. Arnhem holds the archives.
Its standing as the seat of Gelderland gathered monuments and institutions into the older city on a scale that a district of this size never approached.
Where is Sterrenberg?
Sterrenberg takes in about 26 hectares of the Arnhem municipality, a small share of a city covering some 101 square kilometres.
