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.

Frisian Resistance Museum

Reviewed By ilovetotravelfoodie - Amsterdam, The Netherlands

This museum is in the same building as the Fries Museum. Friesland apparently played an important role in the Dutch Resistance during the Second World War. Here a very good collection of photos, artifacts etc. from more than 75 years ago is now being displayed. Recommended.
