Beautiful bicycle tour of the Hanseatic city

The bike tour passes a characteristic harbor full of historic ships. At the impressive Walburgiskerk you will hear all about the famous Librije: a rare chain library with books by Copernicus, among others. We won’t visit the church during the tour, but you can see this unique piece of history for yourself later.

The Broederenkerk Library is a beautiful library in a former monastery church. Closed on Sundays, but from the outside an impressive stop with lots of historical context. We also bike along the IJsseldijk. A lovely bike route with sweeping views of the river and Zutphen’s skyline. Ideal for great photos.

Noorderhaven & the old Broodfabriek offers a fascinating contrast between modern urban development and industrial past. The guide tells how this neighborhood transformed into a lively residential area.
Zutphen is also known for its surprising amount of Jugendstil. You will discover the most beautiful facades and hear the stories behind them. We pass by the historic center, Zaadmarkt & Houtmarkt. But also the medieval squares, narrow streets and charming merchant houses. Here you experience the real Zutphen-feeling.

The hofjes of Zutphen are quiet, green spots tucked away in the middle of the city. Discover why these hofjes were so important to the community. We cycle past the robust fortifications and the defense tower that was part of the old city wall. A fascinating stop for lovers of military history.

We pass the Stedelijk Museum and Museum Henriette Polak, both housed in beautiful monumental buildings. The Schelpenkoepeltje is an elegant structure in the garden of a 17th-century patrician house. A real hidden gem. If the route allows, we cycle past Zutphen’s coffee roastery – a wonderful place to have a cup of coffee after the tour.
