Along the route, you'll pass landmarks such as the Tower of Our Lady, known locally as De Peperbus, Museum de Fundatie, the Dominican monastery and St Michael's Church. You'll also walk past Zwolle's oldest shop, with its extensive selection of traditional Dutch sweets. Keep an eye out during your walk, too, as a golden emperor's crown is hidden somewhere along the way. Can you find it?
