City Walk Bergkwartier and Brink | Historic Walking Tour
Step back in time during this city walk through the Bergkwartier and the Brink in Deventer, one of the oldest and perhaps most atmospheric parts of the city. In this historic district, time sometimes seems to stand still. Narrow streets, leaning façades, and characteristic buildings tell the story of centuries of trade, craftsmanship, and daily life in the Hanseatic city of Deventer.
During this historic walk through the Bergkwartier and the Brink, you will discover places where merchants, craftsmen, and residents have gathered since the Middle Ages. The Bergkwartier is known for its authentic character and forms the backdrop of the famous Dickens Festival, when the entire area transforms into a nineteenth-century world.
You will pass remarkable places such as old warehouses, charming squares, and monumental buildings. Along the way, you will learn more about the history of Deventer, the influence of the Hanseatic League, and everyday life in this centuries-old city along the river IJssel.
