Zwolle.

Of all the places to explore in The Netherlands, Zwolle deserves a chapter of its own. Foodies will feel right at home — the city lists 110 restaurants ranging from street food to fine dining. But there is more: Coffee culture is alive and well, with 94 cafes to prove it. From boutique stays to well-known chains, the city offers 15 hotels. Culture seekers can lose themselves in 8 museums that tell stories you won't find in textbooks.
