Culture and museums
It is no wonder that Fryslân and Waterland van Friesland are rich in cultural heritage. It is not without reason that Leeuwarden was Fryslân European Capital of Culture. And you will find that everywhere. From a small and intimate regional museum to a large and UNESCO world-class museum. Special encounters with the crafts of the past give color to Friesland and to your day and the day of the (grand)children. Take the children with you, because there are exceptionally special routes and activities for them! Take a look at an overview of culture and museums here.
Great food and drinks
Whether you like sweet, savory, or something else, there is always a Frisian delicacy that you can enjoy. Ask the baker for a delicacy such as an orange cookie, dúmkes, or sûkerbôle. Or try Frisian nail and sheep cheese from a local farmer or cheese farm Nylander in Workum. Sometimes you will even find milk tapping machines on farms to tap your own glass of milk. Would you rather tap a Frisian beer? In that case, the brewery in Bolsward is something for you. Many restaurants here have such a delicious regional dish or drink on their menu. It will be hard to choose what to have on the website of Waterland van Friesland.
