Tiel, Municipality and medieval port town in Gelderland, Netherlands.

Tiel extends along both sides of the Waal River, featuring residential areas interwoven with orchards and commercial districts across its territory.

The settlement gained city rights in 1200 and developed into a major trading center through its membership in the Hanseatic League.

The Fruitcorso parade in September presents decorated wagons that showcase the agricultural products from the region's numerous orchards.

The municipality contains three population centers: the main town of Tiel, plus the communities of Kapel-Avezaath and Wadenoijen.

Archaeological excavations revealed a 4,000-year-old burial mound that researchers refer to as the Netherlands version of Stonehenge.
