Today, enjoy an optional morning coach excursion to historical town of Zwolle. This town boasts a beautiful city centre with historic buildings, canals and the remainders of an old city wall.

Zwolle provides plenty of places to visit when it comes to recreation and tourism in a natural environment. The historic facades, city walls and towers, the 600-year-old Sassenpoort gate and star-shaped city moat, flanked by monumental merchant’s homes and trees still characterise this city, and its beautiful alleys and impressive fortifications still beg to be explored.
