Harlingen

AN ELF CITY CITY

Harlingen is one of the oldest of the Frisian Eleven Cities and the only port city. Adjacent to UNESCO World Heritage the Wadden Sea.

A cool magnet for those who love wind and water. But just as attractive for lovers of a glorious nautical past. Beautiful warehouses, lively inner harbors and atmospheric streets, original galleries and a bustling range of shops.

In the cozy city center there are approximately 500 monumental buildings. Of course you can eat delicious fish in one of the many restaurants in the always pleasant shopping center, stroll along the pleasure marinas or enjoy the ferry boulevard. Here, and also at the beach pavilion, you have a beautiful view of the Wadden Sea and you can watch the sun "set into the sea". You will see the ferries, fishing boats, yachts, clippers come and go.

The “Stienen man” watches over the dike. In clear weather, Vlieland and Terschelling are clearly visible – recognizable in the evening by the light of the lighthouses.
