Zutphen as Tower City;

The name Zutphen derives from Zuid-venne, a complex of river dunes amidst marshy meadows.

If you look closely, Zutphen boasts dozens of towers, but the most striking and well-known are St. Walburgis Church, Wijnhuistoren (Wine House Tower), St. John's Church, Broederenkerk (Brothers' Church), and Water Tower.

What a nice Hanseatic town Zutphen is!
Bought a city walk at the tourist office and walked it. Beautiful streets, old buildings, etc. Lovely to look around.
Then we strolled through the shopping streets and had a coffee on the terrace, yes, in the sun ☀️😄

Well over 400 buildings are …
