Discover historic Dordrecht
Beautiful monuments, historic inner city harbours, a great atmosphere. Walk or sail through the city, visit the Grote Kerk, Dordrecht's most famous monument and a landmark in the city. The leaning tower, which houses the 67-bell carillon, is a striking feature. Go to Het Hof van Nederland, wander around in museum Huis van Gijn, admire the paintings of Dutch masters in the Dordrechts Museum and feast your eyes in the many art and antique shops. The rich history can be seen on almost every street corner in the hundreds of monuments in the inner city. Buildings built in various styles, from Gothic to Jugendstil, alternate with each other.
Active or relaxed in the Biesbosch
For the ultimate holiday feeling, you do not have to go far away. Because Dordrecht is particularly close by! At these surprising Dordt spots in the Biesbosch, you can completely relax. Nice and active outdoors in a relaxed atmosphere and that close to home. What more could you want this summer?
Enjoying a drink on a terrace remains a pleasant leisure activity for many. Especially when the sun is shining, it feels like a little holiday in your own country. For a long time, 'plopping down' was not possible because of the corona measures. In Dordrecht, however, there are more than enough possibilities. Various catering establishments have designed their (renovated) terraces or inner gardens in such a way as to guarantee enjoyment with a capital 'G'.
