Hattem… a picturesque Hanseatic city on the river IJssel. You have come to the right place to enjoy the woods, the water, and the unique spots the city has to offer.

The city's rich history dates back to as the 9th century. Parts of Hattem’s history are still clearly visible, such as the street pattern, and parts of the old, imposing city wall which are still completely intact. Curious about the history? Then visit one of the three museums to learn more about this Hanseatic city.

Discover how versatile our city is. Whether you love culture, nature, or shopping: in Hattem, you will find activities for young and old. Visit our city centre with its historic streets, take a walk through the historic Molecaten estate, or cycle the ‘Rondje Pontje’ (Ferry Loop) with a crossing over the river IJssel. It remains remarkable how you cycle from the river IJssel to the Veluwe, as if passing through two different worlds in a single bike ride. Relax in between with a treat at one of the restaurants, cafes, ice cream parlours, or coffee shops where you are always warmly welcomed.

Let yourself be surprised by authentic Hattem! This magazine will take you on a journey of discovery through this beautiful Hanseatic city.

Have fun in Hattem!
