Surrounded by Water, Unique and Original

A walk through Doesburg - the best way to explore the city on the IJssel - is like a journey back in time. The town was given a new bulwark in the fourteenth century, to protect against the river water that still surrounds Doesburg. Since then, the street pattern has remained unchanged.  Zutphen is perfect if you are looking for originality. The historic centre offers many towers as well as a unique and striking range of shops. Zutphen is also called Torenstad (town of towers). As well as some large towers that are visible from a large distance and shape the town’s skyline, there are also plenty of smaller towers. The old centre takes you back to medieval times. As well as towers, there are historical warehouses, merchant’s homes, churches, courtyards, streets and alleyway that create the town’s unique atmosphere.
