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.

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.
