Leeuwarden
What do remarkable historical buildings, cultural hotspots, and romantic canals have in common? You’ll find them all in Leeuwarden! The capital of Friesland is bursting with charm, history, and good vibes. Visit iconic landmarks like the Oldehove Tower and Blokhuispoort, walk along the canals, pop into the Fries Museum for a dose of local art and culture, or discover hidden courtyards and boutique shops. What’s more, it’s a great place for foodies. With intimate wine bars, gorgeous grand cafes, cute breakfast spots and cool restaurants, Leeuwarden’s dining scene won’t disappoint. Culture, art, history, food and shopping: Leeuwarden has it all!
Get your bearings
Getting to Leeuwarden is all part of the adventure! By train or car, you’ll pass through stretches of scenic Dutch landscape. Once there, it’s easy to get around: explore the sights, shops, and restaurants on foot, or hop on a bike like a real Dutchie to cover more ground – this compact city is made for cycling! And within minutes, you’ll find yourself in the Frisian countryside. Another great tip: rent a small boat or join a canal tour for a laid-back way to see the city.
Don't miss
Don’t miss these Leeuwarden gems! At the Fries Museum, you can learn more about Frisian culture and history. Climb the leaning Oldehove Tower (the Dutch "Tower of Pisa") for unique city views and go to the Slieker Film Theatre for indie films in a charming setting. Grab coffee or lunch at De Waag, a historic weighing house, or explore Blokhuispoort, a former prison now housing creative shops, cafés, and Proefverlof – a must for cocktails and burgers, served in a former cell!
While you're there
Leeuwarden is as friendly as it gets – ideal for slowing down and soaking in the typical, down-to-earth Frisian lifestyle. Rent a boat and glide through the canals at your own pace, or let a gondolier take you on a Venetian-style tour. Back on land, have a walk through the Prinsentuin, a lush park where locals relax. Enjoy lunch at De Koperen Tuin, the park’s cosy café. Fancy a local drink? Head to the Jenever Museum for a tasting of Dutch gin in a stunning old townhouse.
