Surprising tours wow!

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 Leeuwarden are your guides.

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.

Would you like to discover the city on your own? You can! Take a DIY route and get to know Leeuwarden at your own pace. Advantage: you will come across many cool places along the way that make your city walk worthwhile. Disadvantage: your walk will often be a lot longer because of all the cool places you come across along the way.

Various walking maps are available at the Leeuwarden Visitor Center for a small price; from a general introduction to the city, thematic walks or a concise history guide. We are happy to help you make the right choice.
