This is a good stopping place when cycling, next to the little passenger ferry across the Ijssel.
The 'koffie pontje' is especially good.

Neighborhoods
Kampen used to be one of the more important Hanzeatic League cities, once rivalling Amsterdam in importance. Owing to the silting up of the river the Ijssel the city gradually lost it's importance as a trading hub.
The old town centre is still largely intact, and the riverfront with it's traditional sailing barges is well worth a visit.

A gem of a village, interlaced with masses of small canals. The most fun thing to do here is to hire a small electric motorboat, but it can become extremely congested on the water.
For the sailors there are tradionally rigged punters for hire, once you get the hang of them they are a delight to sail.
