Culture

Friesland is the only province with an official second national language, three World Heritage sites, and the titles of Cultural Capital and Unesco City of Literature. With the 11fountains, a rich cultural history, and an impressive number of museums per capita, Friesland breathes culture like no other province in the Netherlands. 

Eleven Cities

In Friesland, the cities are smaller than villages, but their historical significance makes them unique, ranging from port cities to university towns and from fortified cities to pilgrimage sites. The Elfstedentocht connects these cities, each with its own character and charm, from bustling to serene and timeless.

Wadden

Friesland is the only province with so many Wadden Islands and the largest tidal area in the world, the Wadden Sea, which is constantly in motion due to ebb and flow. This unique landscape, part of the Unesco World Heritage, offers a dynamic natural wonder found nowhere else in the Netherlands.
