Things to do in Deventer

Deventer is about as 'off the beaten track' as you can get in the Netherlands. This city is the perfect venue to observe typical Dutch life - perfect if you're looking to avoid the clichés of clogs and coffeeshops. Book a private Deventer tour and explore this Dutch city with a local guide. In 785, the English missionary Lebuinus built a church on the IJessel river. The church was sacked a few years later and the settlement was raided by Vikings…but persistence paid off, and by the Middle Ages, Deventer was booming as a Hanseatic trading port. Start at St. Nicholas church - a Romanesque basilica transformed into a concert hall - and ask your guide why the spires are different heights. Wander streets around the Bergkerk until you find the perfect outdoor patio for lunch. Charming Diepenveen is worth a stroll. Once a village in the forest, its quiet streets make it feel like a rural escape. As night falls, head to 'the Brink' market square to dine, drink and dance with locals.
