Surprising tours wow!

Miniature People - Visitor Center

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. See below for information about the tours.

Take a tour - Walk the walk!

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 - Splash!

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.

Do it yourself tours - let's go!

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.

Or by bike! - Whoosh!

You read it right, the city center is easy to walk around. Do you want to see more of the city, or also take in the landscape and the small villages around it? Join an Open Bike Tour and get to know all the highlights of the city. Or go for the culinary bow: bites and pedaling combines the tasty with the pleasant, just like the Frisian Food Tour. In the Leeuwarden Visitor Center we sell many more beautiful bike tours!
