What a nice video! I haven't ever been to the center of Dordrecht, but it's definitely on my todo list now. Have you ever been to my home town, Deventer? It's another one of the oldest cities of The Netherlands. I recommend you to take a visit when you're around 😉

You sound a bit like Rick Steves! I enoyed your video. Glad you liked Dordrecht!

Dordrecht is not one of the oldest city of the Netherlands. That's not correct. Dordrecht is The Oldest city of Holland. Holland and the Netherlands are two different things in Historie.

[@denniscallan]

Thank you my friend for your comment. I never said it is the "oldest" in the country. Several times I said it is "one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands" which it is, and "officially made a city in the year 1220" and in my other video about the boat ride I said it again: "one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands" you can see here kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2ipk6tqjst5l8k. Also, if you look at my website on Dordrecht, I make it clear: "It is considered the oldest city of Holland, a province in the west part of the country which includes North and South Holland." townsofeurope.com/Netherlands/Dordrecht.html Thank you for your contribution.

@denniscallan you say also the big church is 90 meters high. That's also incorrect. It's 65 meters.

[@denniscallan]

@@EdwinvanderWielen79 OK, you are welcome to fact-check the whole story, but I hope you enjoyed it anyway. Maybe we are both wrong, if you include the tower, according to google: Tower: The church's most prominent feature is its Gothic tower, which reaches a height of 85 meters (279 feet). It's one of the tallest church towers in the Netherlands.
