A day in Hengelo, with time to sit down.
A day in town does not need a packed schedule. Browse a few shops, discover something new and find somewhere to sit. Leave room for whatever takes your fancy. On Nieuwstraat, you are welcome to join us for lunch, dinner or a drink.
Start with what interests you
Would you like to shop, learn about the town or visit an event? Our Explore Hengelo page offers ideas for local stories, walks and a museum visit. There is no need to fit everything into one day.
Our calendar brings together a selection of events in the city centre. Always follow the organiser's link for times, tickets and changes. Not every event in the calendar is organised by De Appel.
Make lunch a proper pause
The lunch menu is online in Dutch, German and English. Choose something beforehand or take your time at the table. We serve lunch until 17:00; our contact page has the current opening hours.
Coming with a group or have a question about your visit? You can book online for up to 18 guests. Give us a call for larger groups or practical questions.
Discover the story behind the building
De Appel has been part of Hengelo since 1980. Read our story if you would like to know more about the place where you are sitting. For the town's history, we also link to the museum and municipality, helping you explore beyond the shopping streets.
You will find De Appel at Nieuwstraat 1. Our contact page includes a map, opening hours and a link to parking information. With the practical details covered, the rest of the day can stay open.
