Things to do in Zwolle
As an ancient Hanseatic city, Zwolle reveals its charm from all angles: strolling on foot or navigating its star-shaped canal network. Admire the medieval Sassenpoort gate, the grand Sint-Michaëlskerk in the main square (Grote Markt), and the distinctive Peperbus tower with its copper dome. Climb the Peperbus tower for a panoramic view 75 metres above the city, or paddle through the canals for a unique perspective of Zwolle.
Adventures Among Tulips
If you love active holidays, you can explore Zwolle by bike, visiting enchanting places and the adventurous nature reserves. Some of our B&Bs in Zwolle provide bicycles on-site or will happily recommend a local rental. Pedal through the city's outskirts along the Netherlands' longest tulip route, where fields of flowers bloom in a kaleidoscope of colours, or explore the verdant Spoolderbos, Park Het Engelse Werk or Park AA-landen to the north of the city.
Where is Zwolle?
Zwolle, the proud capital of the province of Overijssel, is a gem in the northeast of the Netherlands. The city is well-connected, situated about 120 kilometres northeast of Amsterdam.

Best Time to Visit Zwolle
Springtime in Zwolle is a floral spectacle, with tulips and hyacinths painting the landscape. Summer offers warmer days and bright evenings, perfect for exploring the city and its canals and participating in outdoor events. However, autumn (September-October) might be a good choice if you want to avoid the tourist crowds. During this period, temperatures are still quite pleasant, and you can enjoy a more relaxed visit.
