Experience Leeuwarden Winter wonderland!

A fresh start in Leeuwarden

Winter has arrived — and how! A thick blanket of snow covers the streets of Leeuwarden, sledging is in full swing in the Prinsentuin, and you’ll find a snowman on every street corner. And although the cosy December season is now behind us, there are still plenty of fun things to do in Leeuwarden. Sporty resolutions? Every day you can join guided city walks with A Guide to Leeuwarden, and the Elfstedenhal hosts a Family Fun Day every month! Looking to immerse yourself in art and culture? Alongside the major museums — the Fries Museum and the Princessehof National Museum of Ceramics — be sure not to miss the smaller exhibitions and galleries either. A small selection from what’s on offer: Mummy Mysteries at the Natuurmuseum Fryslân, Brussels Sprouts with Sambal at the Historical Centre Leeuwarden, and Time Never Stands Still at Tresoar. Your fresh start begins in Leeuwarden!
