Facts about Tiel

A visit to Tiel will see you visiting one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands; it was first mentioned in a document dating back to 855, where the destination was referred to as “Dioli”. In the 20th century the city became a major fruit production centre. For a marketing campaign by a factory that had operations in Tiel, a little boy name Flipje was created, who resembles a raspberry with arms and legs. Although the factory was closed down, Flipje still remains as the city’s mascot and statues of him can be found around the city or you can learn more about his history in the dedicated Streek Museum.
