Zwolle is a both modern and historic city with a rich and fascinating history especially throughout the late Middle Ages. The Hanseatic League’s warehouses and homes with grand façades point to the origin of our prosperity.

Also the unique bookstore ‘Van der Velde in de Broeren,’ located in an historic church is a true must see. And of course, you must try to get a table at our Michelin 3-star restaurant The Librije (or at least buy something in the shop). Come and feel the Hanseatic energy in our dynamic city.
