Discover Elfstedenstad Workum and its surroundings

Workum (or Warkum as we say in Friesland), is one of the famous Frisian cities that has enjoyed city rights since 1399. Located on the shores of the former Zuiderzee and bordering the Frisian lakes, Workum was an important merchant city for the region. Simply walking around the old city centre is an attraction in itself. Along the route, you'll encounter the many stepped gables, saddle roofs and the Great (St. Gertrude) church. No wonder the city became a protected heritage area in 1988. You can admire the intimate paintings by rag and bone man Jopie Huisman and there is also a museum that will introduce you to the rich history of Workum.Or visit the beach because this Elfstedenstad, located on the IJsselmeer, has an ideal beach for children and (kite) surfers because the water is shallow. As a result, Workum is also a busy place in summer! Plan your visit and discover below where you can stay in Workum, what there is to do in Workum and where you can have a bite to eat in the area. Have fun in Workum.
