The city of Zutphen is very historical and cultural. During the year there are many festivals like "Bok-Bier dag" during the traditional harvest season, the chocolate festival and the yearly carnaval. There are also a few museums like "Het stedelijk museum" (on the historical background of the city) and "Het Henriette Polak museum" (with modern and contemporary art).
Zutphen is situated in a beautiful part of the Netherlands with lots of woods and rivers. Hiking, canoeing and other outdoor activities are great to do here.
Just to the West of Zutphen you will find the largest recreational park of the Netherlands called “De Hoge Veluwe” (http://www.hogeveluwe.nl In this park you will find a variety of plants and animals – living in its original habitat.

The city is perfectly situated for trips to Amsterdam (100 km) and other parts of the Netherlands(Rotterdam, The Hague), but also gives easy access to Germany and Belgium.

We, Margot and Cees, are a couple in our late fifties and are starting to slow down and enjoy the good life. Both our daughters have left the house to go studying in other parts of the country / world. Sometimes they want to join us during holidays. We love travelling, culture, good food, wine and outdoor activities.
We hope to see new parts of the world. We are up for holiday exchange (in- and outside the holiday season) but are also happy to consider offers for long weekend or mid-week trips.
