Dordrecht. Is the oldest city of Holland, which is the area of the two provinces of North and South-Holland combined. That fact alone makes it well worth a visit. Located in the province of Zuid-Holland, its picturesque alleyways, beautiful historical city center and more than 1000 monuments give this city a unique appearance and charming ambience.
The historical city center is home to about 1000 monuments, many of which are also beautifully utilized as restaurants, museums or theaters. In the historical city center, houses and buildings from the Middle Ages stand side by side in harmony with those from the present day.
The merchants' houses and warehouses that sprang up along the harbors in the 17th and 18th centuries still dominate the scenery today. Dordrecht was once the most important staple city of Holland and it still shows! Dordrecht’s historical harbor contains everything that makes the city so special: distinctive buildings and bridges and loads of restaurants and cafés.
This makes it the ideal place for a long walk with an occasional stop at a cozy bar or restaurant. Dordrecht has harbors instead of canals.
