Harderwijk is an old Hanseatic city. Its grandeur can be found in the city centre, where the monumental old city hall dominates the market. Just a little further on, there is an old fisherman's house, nowadays the home of the Harderwijker Town Guild. It is certainly worthwhile to take a city walk with an enthusiastic city guide. They will take you to the wealth and poverty of Harderwijk's past. Be sure to book in advance.
