You will visit the old town of Dordrecht with its picturesque harbour quarter. Next you will head south to Willemstad, a former garrison town inside star-shaped fortifications. The next day enter Zeeland province, mainly made up of islands. For a long time it was somewhat cut off from the rest of the country and only in recent decades have dams and bridges opened up the region to visitors. We are talking about the dams and coastal defences of the Delta Works, constructed to keep the sea out of this region plagued by floods; a region in which most of the land is manmade, won from the water, and below sea level.
One of the highlights of this tour is the Delta Works exhibition.
