Like many cities in the Netherlands, Leeuwarden is also a city with a very rich history. This history goes back to Roman times, when people were already living on the spot where the Oldehove now stands. Just like many places in the Netherlands that fought against the water, Leeuwarden was such a place.
What exactly is the most beautiful city of Friesland is hard to say because it depends on personal taste. However, if you consider that Harlingen houses more than 500 protected monuments, then Harlingen certainly belongs to the top.
Friesland is one of the most northerly provinces of the Netherlands. The province is known for its nature, landscapes and waterways. Every year, the Frisian lakes are the center of much tourism that, for example, come to events such as Skûtsjesilen.
