Experience Leeuwarden Summer!
Summer in Leeuwarden
Don’t get us wrong; we love an Indian Summer. But when a few leaves start to turn copper, after we’ve cycled through the first autumn storms, and the evenings begin to grow darker a little earlier, we also start looking forward to autumn. Especially to the dazzling autumn in Leeuwarden. Because let’s be honest—hot chocolate on warmly lit terraces, the kick-off of the cultural season (bringing along special exhibitions, awesome theatre, cool live music, and wintry festivals), and autumn city walks? That’s what makes the perfect autumn picture complete, without a doubt!
