Universiteit Twente
The university has a number of buildings with interesting architecture, such as the Drienerlo tower (Torentje van Drienerlo), the Cubicus and the student dormitory at the crossing between Campuslaan and Matenweg.
The Volkspark is a beautiful park close to the city center. It was constructed in 1872 to serve as recreational area for the workers in the textile industry. It also hosts several cultural activities alongside the year, such as the spring and autumn Kermis.
Enschede's heating and power station, which was (perhaps unfairly) elected the "ugliest building of Netherlands" by a poll of the local newspaper TC Tubantia. It looks somewhat like a church covered with Delft-blue tiles. It is richly illustrated as a whole and artist Hugo Kaagman has placed images on the tiles that are associated with the production of electricity and well-known icons from Enschede's history, such as Jan Cremer and the Grolsch swing-top bottle.
Reputedly the most beautiful synagogue of the Netherlands. Tours available on Sunday at 14:00 (in Dutch). English tours are sporadically available.
Museum TwentseWelle
A new museum set in the heart of the modern quarter Roombeek, which was destroyed in the Fireworks Disaster of 2000, Twentse Welle tells the story of mankind in Twente, the region in which Enschede is situated. While there are a number of exhibits that are visually appealing to speakers of any language, the museum, unlike many in the Netherlands, has information about most of its exhibits only in Dutch and German.
Roombeek is the neighborhood between Deuningerstraat and Oldenzaalstraat, north of Lasondersingel, which corresponds to the neighborhood rebuilt after the fireworks disaster. It is now the finest neighborhood of Enschede, with all houses and buildings projected by renowned architects, plenty of green areas and exclusive lanes for buses and bicycles, and containing the Twentse Welle museum and the Rijksmuseum.
