This review is an attempt to summarize VLBI continuum observations at cm- and dm-wavelengths of active galactic nuclei at distances ≲ 100 Mpc (Ho = 50 km s−1 Mpc−1). ‘Nearby galaxies’, thus defined, are close enough for achieving the highest possible spatial resolution. Galaxies at these distances, however, typically do not show extreme and rare forms of nuclear activity such as powerful radio sources, the cores of which are relatively easy to map with VLBI, and which are therefore the subject of most of the VLBI work done so far (see e.g. Preuss, 1983). Nearby active galaxies show rather more ‘ordinary’ forms of nuclear activity; they include a few of the weaker classical ‘radio galaxies’, but most of them are Seyfert galaxies and mildly active ‘normal galaxies’. Their total radio emission is typically weak (P(5 GHz) ≲ 1031 erg s−1 Hz−1) and so are their compact radio nuclei (if any). The highest available sensitivity is therefore required for their study and the current instrumental performance is just becoming sufficient to tackle the strongest of them in the hope of obtaining maps.
