Discover Friesland - from Leeuwarden
You can spend your entire city trip in the city, but if you have the time, wouldn’t it be nice to discover Friesland? Leeuwarden is one of the hidden gems of the Netherlands, but Friesland has many more hidden gems. From Leeuwarden, after a short car ride and a ferry crossing, you can reach the expansive beaches of the Wadden Islands within a few hours. Would you rather go by bike? From the bustling city centre, you can cycle into the tranquility and space of the Frisian countryside within fifteen minutes
Cooling off - cool!
Fortunately, in addition to all the hotspots, Leeuwarden also has plenty of options to cool off. Cool off in one of the museums or head to the water to swim, paddle or sail. And the best ice cream in town? We know where you can score it!
