This walking tour showcases the very best of Leeuwarden. Discover the city with an experienced guide who shares fascinating insights into its history. A surprising tour for both visitors and locals, who are often amazed by the rich heritage of the capital of Friesland.
We walk through the historic city centre, where all the highlights are located within about a ten-minute walk of each other—beautifully compact. You’ll see how the city developed on three mounds (terpen) and visit the leaning Oldehove. Along the way, you’ll hear stories about monuments, canals, green courtyards, and the gently rising streets, as well as the traces left by the ancestors of Willem-Alexander. An expert city guide brings both the past and present to life.
The tour lasts approximately one and a half hours and ends among the shops and terraces of the city centre.
This walk can also be booked as a private tour for your own group. For example, with family or friends and on a date that suits you best.
