A Guide to Leeuwarden

Every week we organise Free Walking Tours in Leeuwarden. In 1,5 to 2 hours a passionate guide will show you Leeuwarden through their eyes. Expect funny historical stories, beautiful street-art and cute little shops and art galleries. The walking tours are every week (rain or shine). Meet us at the Oldehoofsterkerkhof. We will start next to the entrance of the Obe paviljon. Near the Ut Streekie shop and the Brasserie Maria Louise. Most of our tours are in Dutch. But on Saturday 12PM we also have an English guide and we have regular tours in German. Check our website to see the full scheduale and to sign up. All of our regular walking tours are Free Tours. If you liked the tour, you can give the guide a donation according to your own budget. It is also possible to book a private guide for a fixed price.

Zuivelhoeve Leeuwarden

Vers staat voorop bij De Zuivelhoeve; dat zie je en dat proef je. De verse producten hebben een fraai plekje gevonden en zijn een lust voor het oog. Veel mensen uit Leeuwarden en omgeving weten deze versspecialist inmiddels te vinden. De reacties van buitenlandse toeristen zijn altijd ook zeer enthousiast: heerlijke boerenkazen in Ljouwert! De sfeer bij De Zuivelhoeve is warm, hartelijk en uitnodigend. De eigenaars lopen en denken graag met je mee als je naar iets speciaals op zoek bent. Wil je zelf op je gemak rondkijken, dan kan dat natuurlijk ook. De Kleine Kerkstraat is eerder verkozen tot ‘Leukste winkelstraat van Nederland’ en dat is natuurlijk niet voor niets! Het is een van de meest karakteristieke straatjes van Leeuwarden vlak bij de Prinsentuin, het Keramiekmuseum en de Oldehove. De straat heeft nog een nostalgisch karakter, met die gezelligheid van vroeger, een grote diversiteit aan winkels en ondernemers die met hart en ziel in hun zaak staan.Oant sjen! Anton & Willie

11fountains

Reviewed By 237jackr - Exeter, United Kingdom

We went to see all of the 10 fountains installed for the European Year of Culture (Dokkum wasn't finished). Most of them were really interesting, some were beautiful, some were clever, some weird and one really hideous. It was a really intriguing idea and will leave a legacy for Friesland for years to come. Our favourites were Harlingen (Whale), IJlst (Japanese flowers) and Hinderlopen (The Tree of Life).
