Okay, it may not be tropical temperatures during spring break, but if we're lucky the sun is shining nicely. Time to embrace the first rays of sunshine of the year. And what better way to do this than by just being outside? Discover Zwolle from the water and rent a boat!

From the water you experience the Hanseatic city very differently. Enjoy the peace and quiet on the canals, contemplate the amazing architecture around you and maybe even make a stop for a snack or drink. Float around the center's canals or cruise a slightly longer distance. For example, beautiful places like Dalfsen, Ommen and Hasselt are also in the immediate vicinity of Zwolle.
