Gemeente Dordrecht

To this day, Dordrecht still honours those many historic events. Important monuments like 't Hof, the Groothoofdspoort, the Stadhuis [Town Hall], the Grote Kerk and the Augustijnenkerk have been restored in recent years.

The numerous warehouses, mansions and almshouses have also had a well-deserved facelift. Everyone can experience the surprising beauty of these, with the City Walk from the VVV in the hand or walking along the specially set out and signposted 'Rondje Dordt' [Dordt Walk].



The history also makes itself heard. The city walk 'Sprekende Gevels' [Talking fa‡ades], available in Dutch, English and French, takes care of this. With the audio-set obtainable from the VVV you pass along eight important monuments. Via the headphones you can listen to stories about the past with a personal tinge. In this way you find out everything about trade and water, politics, religion, art and work. But also about the daily life of the Dordtenaar [person who comes from Dordrecht]. In the background you hear sounds from ages past.
