Zutphen Old Town
Binnenstad Zutphen
'Tower City' Zutphen preserves numerous medieval city walls, towers and merchant houses. It is one of the most complete Hanseatic old towns along the IJssel.
Zutphen is a Hanseatic town at the confluence of the IJssel and Berkel rivers. Its old town has barely been modernised, earning it the name 'City of Towers'. Start from the Wine House Tower on the Groenmarkt, then pass Zaadmarkt and the Drogenapstoren city gate. Stroll along the city walls by the Berkel riverbank and the 'Berkelpoort' water gate, then visit St. Walburgis Church and the Chained Library. The old town has independent bookshops, restaurants and a Thursday market. It is about a 15-minute train ride from Deventer.
