Sneek-Lelystad-Kampen, Netherlands Cruise Port

Kampen, in the Netherlands, is the Rhine River’s major cruise port and a city in the Holland province of Overijssel. This city, out of all the others in Holland, has the best preserved Old Town areas. These excellent wonders of times past are equipped with three standing, ancient walls, three workable gates, three bridges connecting Ijsselmuiden and Kampereiland to Kampen, many churches, and a windmill from the 19th century. Churches are a particular draw for tourists because of their strong Gothic architecture from the 14th and 15th century that distinguishes them from more modern, yet still old churches. The churches and chapels aren’t the only old buildings in town; there’s much to see in the ancient town hall, a few universities and castles, plus a number of extravagant, multi-purpose towers. The waterside trails and walkways are well-maintained and peaceful, offering scenic views of the surrounding cities and seas that make up the Netherlands.

 

  • The Stedelijk Museum has artifacts and recreations that showcase the history of Kampen going back to the Middle Ages. Informational booklets in English are available to help navigate the language barrier.
     
  • The most impressive of the remaining gates in the Old Town district is called Cellebroederspoort. This one also has a museum inside it.
     
  • An old sailing vessel known as the Kamper Kogge is on display in the city harbor. Tourists are permitted to board the ship via guided tour to get the full experience.
     
  • Bovenkerk is one of the largest churches in the entire city, and one of the biggest buildings as well. The inside is also historically fancy with an organ made up of more than 3,000 pipes.
