Dordrecht, Netherlands: A Quiet Morning Walk Through a Hidden Water City

Join me on an early morning walk through Dordrecht, a beautiful and historic Dutch city built right on the water, just a short distance from Rotterdam. I arrived just as the town was waking up, giving me the chance to enjoy the peaceful canals, quiet bridges, and centuries-old architecture almost entirely to myself. From the staggering, weathered brickwork of the leaning Grote Kerk to the impressive Groothoofdspoort city gate opening up to the wide river, this was a wonderful morning spent taking in the history and everyday life of a truly fascinating place.
