Celebrating its European Capital of Culture of 2018 with hundreds of events, there has never been a better time to visit Leeuwarden (or as the Frisians call it: ‘Ljouwert’). Famous artists like M.C. Escher and the exotic dancer Mata Hari were born in this historical city.

The city center welcomes you for a whole day of shopping where you can walk through the narrow shopping streets or alongside of the centuries old canals. Do not forget to put the Fries Museum on your to-do list where you can discover the roots of Friesland. Definitely worth a visit!
