Zutphen is a small, but very modern city. It is a great town to just wander around and let yourself be surprised by the many beautiful houses and fun quaint boutiques. The main sight is the Grote Kerk, or St Walburgis, which dates from the 12th century and contains monuments of the former counts of Zutphen and a fine modern monument to the Van Heeckeren family. As a matter of fact, Zutphen is one of the typical Dutch Hanseatic towns you can find in The Netherlands. Churches, parts of fortifications, stately warehouses, and merchant homes are still around to be admired. It has a truly beautiful cityscape, incredible monuments to discover and great food to eat.
