Start your trip in the atmospheric city centre, where the rich Hanseatic history is still visible everywhere. Cycle along the centuries-old city walls, admire the imposing Sassenpoort and stroll along the charming Thorbeckegracht. Don't forget to make a stop at the iconic Peperbus, Zwolle's landmark. And are you an art lover? Then Museum de Fundatie is a must-see, with its striking blue dome and changing exhibitions. Leave the city centre behind and pedal towards the green banks of the river IJssel. Here, the city is slowly exchanged for peace and space. The IJssel, with its winding course and vast floodplains, is a wonderful backdrop for a relaxing bike ride. Breathe in the fresh air, listen to the birds and enjoy the wide views. Along the dyke, you will come across picturesque villages and you can settle down at a cosy tea garden or a farm shop selling local produce.

From the IJssel valley, you continue cycling through the polder landscape around Zwolle. Vast meadows, old windmills and meandering rivers make this a route full of variety. You might even spot a group of grazing Scottish Highlanders! Via winding cycle paths you slowly return to the city, where you can reminisce about your trip at one of the many outdoor cafés. Zwolle proves: here you will find the perfect mix of history, nature and cosiness - and all by bike!
