From April 19, you can join the local guides of A Guide to Leeuwarden on 5 Saturdays at 2:00 PM. They will tell you the most special stories from the Second World War. What did the people of Leeuwarden themselves notice about the war? What happened to the Jewish residents of Leeuwarden? Where was the occupier and what special actions did the resistance carry out? In 2025 we will celebrate 80 years of liberation and there will also be extra attention for the pilot assistance and air war.
Start: Our tours start at the Oldehoofsterkerkhof. Our guides will be waiting at the entrance of Obe (the Visitor Center Leeuwarden is located inside). This is opposite the Oldehove (the leaning tower) and the regional products store Ut Streekie. The walk takes 1.5 hours and ends at the resistance museum.
Price: This is a ‘Free Tour’. At the end of the tour you can decide for yourself what you think the tour is worth, by means of a voluntary contribution!
Language: This city walk is in Dutch.
You can register on the website of A Guide to Leeuwarden. These tours are sometimes full, so we recommend that you register in advance to ensure that you can join. This also allows us to use an extra guide if necessary.
It is also possible to book this Tour exclusively for your own group. The walk is then also possible on other days.
