Elburg
This compact Dutch Hanseatic town on the Veluwemeer in Gelderland is known for its medieval fortified centre, which retains an almost perfectly intact grid street plan — a rarity that gives the historic core a strong visual coherence. Listed buildings are dense throughout the walkable centre, and cafés and restaurants are concentrated there too, with the waterfront close at hand.
