Getting married in Zwolle: a Hanseatic city with character

Zwolle is a lively Hanseatic city with a historic centre that is still surrounded by a moat. The Sassenpoort, a medieval city gate, and the Peperbus, the striking tower of the Onze Lieve Vrouwekerk, are its best-known sights. The town hall combines a historic section with a modern extension.

The old town is star-shaped, enclosed by canals and bastions. If you drive along the ring canals, you see the city's towers from a different angle every time. That makes even a short drive around the centre worthwhile.

Along the Thorbeckegracht stand stately buildings on the water, and Museum de Fundatie catches the eye with its distinctive oval structure on the roof. This mix of old and new offers plenty of opportunities for photos.

Around Zwolle: river, park and Hanseatic towns

Zwolle lies between the IJssel and the Vecht, with plenty of greenery close to the centre. Within a short drive you can go from the old town to the river or to a country estate.

Het Engelse Werk and the IJssel

On the edge of the city, on the IJssel, lies Het Engelse Werk, a large park with tree-lined avenues, ponds and old trees. It is a peaceful spot for photos, a short distance from the centre. The IJssel dyke behind it offers a wide view over the river.

Hattem and the Vechtdal

On the other side of the IJssel lies Hattem, a small Hanseatic town with narrow streets. East of Zwolle the Vechtdal begins, with country estates and manor houses. Both are a short drive away and offer a completely different backdrop from the city.

Which wedding car suits Zwolle?

Zwolle is centrally located in the north-east and easy to reach via the A28. Many rental companies drive here. Take a look at the overview of wedding cars in Overijssel for more choice.

Part of Zwolle's old town is pedestrianised. Agree a drop-off point on the edge of the centre with the rental company, for example along the city moat. For the old town, classic wedding cars are a great fit; for drives through the Vechtdal, convertibles are a lovely choice.

If your celebration is in the Vechtdal, also have a look at the wedding cars around Dalfsen. The drive along the Vecht is short and varied. Plan a photo stop by the river or at one of the country estates, and keep an eye out for cyclists on the narrow roads.
