Zutphen is a picturesque city along the river IJssel in the province Gelderland, in the mid-east of the Netherlands.

It is about 90 minutes from Amsterdam by train.

Zutphen used to be a fortified city, and the remains of the city wall, gates and defense towers remind you of this.

There are also several churches, among which the St Walburgis Church with the famous 16th century Librije library. In this old library, the books are locked with chains in order to prevent theft. It's one of the three libraries like that in the world!

See the link below for more information.
