Walk · 1 h 30 · The old harbours of the centre with their historic boats, the Groothoofdspoort gate over the river and the Nieuwe Haven quay. Free.

Dordrecht lived off the river, and the centre is best understood by walking its harbours: narrow quays with merchants' houses, drawbridges and moored wooden boats. Start at the Groothoofdspoort, the monumental gate at the tip of the city, where the rivers widen, and continue along the Wolwevershaven, full of historic boats. Then go down the Nieuwe Haven, with Huis Van Gijn on the quay, to the Grote Kerk.
How to do it
Everything is flat and it takes an hour and a half without going into anywhere. If you want a guide, the tourist office organises walks on Saturdays. Finish at the Merwekade if you are catching the Waterbus.
