Zutphen

Travel Guide
Photo by Xeko Trân
Zutphen is an old Hanseatic city in the Dutch province of Gelderland with a lot of cultural history, shopping and museums.

Combine culture with day trips to the countryside. Zutphen is close to the Veluwe and the city has a lot of historic points of interest.

Discover the city's fascinating history while you’re here. People have been living here since the 9th century. Over the centuries, it has been home to the Romans, German emperors, the dukes of Zutphen and many more kingdoms. The city was partially destroyed in the Second World War, but its historic city centre was fortunately spared.

Take in the city's historic buildings, such as the Walburgiskerk, remains of the old city walls and the charming courtyards such as the Oude Bornhof, which dates from the 14th century. Visit one of the city museums, such as the Stedelijk Museum Zutphen, which explains how the city evolved. Combine your cultural activities with a bit of shopping. Lange Hofstraat has a lot of nice boutiques and gorgeous buildings.

Zutphen is on the edge of the Veluwe, which is perfect if you want to spend a day in the nature. Hire a bicycle or go for a long walk and enjoy this beautiful part of the Netherlands.

Zutphen is compact, making it easy to explore on foot. Stroll through the cobblestone alleyways, stop for a drink at the main square and enjoy the charming atmosphere. Use the buses for day trips to places around Zutphen or to get around the city itself.

Zutphen has a train station, making it easy to reach by public transport. If you're travelling by car

make sure your accommodation has parking. The closer you get to the city centre, the shorter you are allowed to park and the more expensive it gets. You can park for free north of the train station.

Make Zutphen a city destination and combine culture with great shopping and beautiful nature.
