You can discover Leeuwarden in the way that suits you best. On the water, in a gondola, in a train, by bike or on foot - everyone sees Leeuwarden in their own way. Enthusiastic city guides tell passionately about their favourite spot or the most beautiful street. Due to corona measures, public tours are given, but in a modified form. Please contact your guide for specific information. See below for information about the tours.
Take a tour - On foot
In the historic city centre, you will be amazed. Even though there is a lot to see, the distances are not great so you can easily discover Leeuwarden on foot. There is a wide range of tours in the city: from tours along all the highlights to a street art tour and even theatrical city tours where historical figures from the history of Leuwarden are your guides.

CityTrain Leeuwarden - Clickety-clack
Do you have difficulty walking or just don't feel like walking? Then hop on the CityTrain! This recognizable blue-yellow train takes you past the most important highlights in the city. With audio guidance in Dutch, French, German, English and Frisian, you can be sure that you can understand the interesting facts that are told along the way.
From the water - Boat trips
From the water, you see the city from a different perspective. Floating along the canals, the buildings you pass by seem even more stately and you let the crowds pass you by on shore. You can opt for a typical Frisian cruise on an authentic barge, or for the foreign feeling in a Venetian gondola.

Boat tours
Are you going for something typically Frisian? Then board a barge. These are boats with a flat bottom that farmers used to use to transport tools, livestock and hay. You can book a boat tour with Praamverhuur Leeuwarden or Stichting Praamvaren.
