The river IJssel and Deventer in the evening at high tide
Deventer, one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands, is picturesquely situated on the banks of the river IJssel. With its rich history dating back to Roman times, this city is known for its annual events such as the Deventer Book Market and the Charles Dickens Festival, which attract thousands of visitors.
The historic city centre exudes an almost tangible medieval charm, with well-preserved buildings such as the Lebuïnus church and the oldest stone house in the Netherlands. The Brink, the central square, is lined with stately old buildings and cosy terraces offering a lively atmosphere, perfect for a relaxing day out.
Deventer is also a city of innovation and culture, with a diverse range of theatres, museums and art galleries. The city prides itself on its entrepreneurial spirit, which can be seen in the many local shops and markets offering artisan products and delicacies.
Nature lovers can enjoy the floodplains of the river IJssel or explore the nearby nature reserves. Deventer is not only a city with a story for anyone interested in history and culture, but also a vibrant community that offers a warm welcome to all its visitors.
