Highlights
  • Standbeeld gebroeders De Witt - This is where we start the tour: in front of the statue of these two famous brothers. Let’s find out what these two meant for the Dutch Republic and how they got to their tragic end.
  • Grote Kerk - We will pass by the Big Church of Dordrecht. The oldest parts of this church date back to the late 13th century! Now it is still an icon of the city.
  • Stadhuis Van Dordrecht - We will not skip the town hall of Dordrecht. This building has quite a history, going back to the 16th century. The current facade however, is a product of the 19th century.
  • Haven - During the tour, we will also see parts of the old harbour of Dordrecht: once one of the most important trading cities of The Dutch Republic.
  • Groothoofdspoort - The Groothoofdspoort is the city gate at the sport where 3 rivers come together. Since the 13th century, this has been a very recognisable entrance into the city.

Want an entertaining tour? Undiscovered Holland - In doing research about the history of the Netherlands, I became really curious about Dordrecht, and particular stories about it being spared in the St. Elizabeth’s day flood. Our guide brought the history of the city to life. He was both informative and funny, regaling us with local lore. He showed us interesting architectural features, scenic views and even had tips for places to shop and directed us to a fabulous lunch spot. Highly recommend.
