Cultural hotspots in Friesland

Must see
For a cultural day out, Friesland is the place to visit, as there is so much beauty to discover here. Why not visit the ‘old classics’, such as the Waterpoort (water gate) in Sneek or the old leaning church tower Oldehove in Leeuwarden. Then again, you shouldn’t skip the ‘new classics’. One of those you will find on the dike near Holwerd: an impressive work of art made for the art project Sense of Place: Waiting for high tide.
