Port of Harlingen

Reviewed By saddpj - Ipswich, United Kingdom

We spent some time in the restaurant/cafe overlooking the harbour on a very damp day and enjoyed watching all the various ships passing by as well as the ferries to and from the Wadden Islands of Terschling and Vlieland. There is an entrance to the canal system not far away so it was quite busy with canal barge traffic as well.

Fries Museum

The Fries Museum is dedicated to Friesland and the Frisian people. Its activities revolve around the eleven cities that make up the province and the surrounding countryside. These include the Frisians' love-hate relationship with water, the search for what defines the typical Frisian character, and Friesland's place in the wider world. The freedom fighter Grutte Pier's sword; old costumes and clothing; treasures from the Frisian mounds; the legacy of Mata Hari, the exotic dancer who was executed as a spy at the end of the First World War; Gerrit Benner's paintings; contemporary visual art; and the film de Overval: together these objects tell the story of Friesland.

Very friendly museum which has done a lot to make the experience interesting especially in the corona time. The staff were very friendly and we enjoyed the exhibitions which are located on two floors. Learnt alot about the area during the war and the history of the friesian people. Worth a visit!
