Situated at the confluence of the rivers Merwede and Noord, Dordrecht is one of the Netherlands' oldest cities, rich in history and character from its charming medieval center and picturesque canals to its beautiful historic buildings. One of the city's most notable landmarks is the Grote Kerk, a stunning Gothic church that dates back to the 11th century where visitors can climb its tower and take in a breathtaking view of the city and the surrounding waterways.

With its intricate network of canals and waterways, the city once played a key role in the Dutch Golden Age and as an important center for trade and commerce. This legacy is still visible today in the Dordrecht Museum, which houses an impressive collection of fine art spanning over 400 years, with works by famous Dutch artists such as Albert Cuyp and Aelbert Jacobsz.

For those who appreciate the great outdoors, Dordrecht's Biesbosch National Park is one of the largest national parks in the Netherlands. A haven for wildlife and a popular spot for hiking and birdwatching, this park also offers opportunities for canoeing and boat tours through a unique labyrinth of rivers and creeks. Closer to the city center, Park Merwestein also provides a tranquil escape with its lush greenery, serene ponds, and historic statues.
