Zwolle Afternoon Trip & Dinner (train Amsterdam/Arnhem)
Station Zwolle, Stationsplein, Zwolle, NLWelcome to the event page of the Zwolle Afternoon Trip & Dinner taking place on Sunday November 2nd, 2025. This event is open to Dutchess & Internationals who like to go on restful afternoon trips, group walks and exploring with others. Everyone is welcome, and we’re especially reaching out to people from east and west of The Netherlands as Hike & Pictures NL and Urban & Rural Arnhem are trying out a collaboration.
Summarized overview
11:50 Arnhem CS + Meet-up 1 (main hall near Burger King).
12:11 Dep. Arnhem
13:10 Arr. Zwolle + Meet-up 2 (Stationsplein)*
13:20 Group city walk
14:45 Free time in Zwolle!
(Communication via WhatsApp-groups)
17:15 Looking for dinner
Intended return time:
18:50 Dep. Zwolle
19:49 Arr. Arnhem
*If you're coming from Amsterdam, check out NS or 9292ov which connection works best for you.Meet-ups & train travel
The event has two official meet-up spots: @Arnhem Centraal Station, near Burger King (11:50) and @Zwolle Stationsplein (13:10). For practical reasons it would be best to only join at one of these meet-up spots. Throughout the day you are free to leave at any time you like.
If you’re coming from Amsterdam: there’s a direct train going to Zwolle from Amsterdam Zuid (12:11), and if you’re traveling from Amsterdam Centraal you can get on this train in Almere Centrum (12:33). It arrives in Zwolle at 13:13. If this train gets any delay, we’ll consider this for the starting time of our group walk :)
Always check NS.nl or 9292.nl to see which connection works best for you!What we’ll do on the trip
When we have arrived we'll initiate a CityWalk for about 1,5 hours! This is a walk where you can socialize and get to know each other, take photos or just tag along and enjoy the vibes. Afterwards, we'll offer freetime. This means you can do what you like: whether that's for example going to a museum, cafes, do photography or continuing walking (with others of the event) is up to everyone’s individual choice. We’ll stay in touch via the WhatsApp-groups (Hike & Pictures and Urban & Rural). Around 17:15 we'll start looking for a place to have dinner. We don't have a specific restaurant in mind yet, but we'll look for a place that's small-budget friendly. After dinner, the event ends. To those traveling to Arnhem: Our return time is intended to be 18:50-19:49, but it's uncertain if we’ll go for this specific connection. A train to Arnhem leaves every 30 minutes.Please RSVP your status here on Meetup!
