7 outdoor activities in the Leeuwarden centre!

Read the 7 outdoor activities in Leeuwarden when you are coming with your mobilhome.

1. PRINSENTUIN

On a quiet, windless morning, one can find themselves drifting through the wonderful Prinsentuin park, a  step across the road from the Oldehove. Here the river laps against the grassy edges of the park and  people of all backgrounds can be seen strolling, running, and contemplating in the relaxed park. One can  also stop here to rest in between SUP boarding or boating to lie in the grass and refuel. A highly  recommendable location to visit!

2. OLDEHOVE (SCHEVETOREN)

The Oldehove is a historic monument and landmark neighbouring the Prinsentuin. It is also known as the  Schevetoren (or “crooked tower”), to be taken literally as the building is oddly tilted. Don’t let this scare  you, as you can buy a ticket for a few euros at the entrance and take the tiny stairway up to the top to take  in the panoramic view of the city under the blue sky.

3. MINIATURE WALK

Ever felt small in a big city? Don’t let this intimidate you, because the hidden miniatures feel the same. Michel  Tilma created the Miniature People Leeuwarden in the pursuit of his love for miniature photography. The  route map for this little self-guided tour around Leeuwarden can be found in Camperplaats Leeuwarden, Ut  Streekie, Jouw Dagelijkse Kost, CEZZ, de Treinpassage, WTC Hotel, van der Valk Hotel Leeuwarden, Notiz  Hotel, Natuurmuseum Fryslan and many more locations for just €2,00!

4. STREET ART WALKING TOUR

Whether you’re into guided tours or a sucker for independence, this street art tour can be marvelled by  anybody who is willing to walk a few kilometres around the centre. Good weather or bad, the street art is  strikingly beautiful to take a glimpse at. More information can be found at the website of A guide to  Leeuwarden.

5. A WANDER THROUGH NIEUWSTAD

Nieuwestad flaunts the stunning inner canals and terraces of Leeuwarden, a hotspot for locals and tourists  alike. It is also known to be the main shopping street, featuring beauty and clothing stores, sports and  lifestyle stores, a HEMA, and much more.

6. LEEUWARDEN FREE TOUR

Rain, hail, and shine, dedicated tour guides reveal the beauty of the city by guiding you through the best  parts of Leeuwarden. The tour guides are waiting on the Oldehove plaza (in the shadow of the  Schevetoren) and can do the tour in multiple languages.

7. FOUNTAINS AND SCULPTURES ACROSS FROM THE  STATION

If you are taking public transport to visit or depart Leeuwarden, it is difficult to miss the giant piece of  artwork as you walk past. Jaume Plensa, a Spanish artist who visited Leeuwarden for the first time in  2014, created the ‘Love’ fountain, part of the 11Cities project in Friesland. It depicts two children who are  ‘dreaming’. ‘For children, the future is a dream full of promises’, Plensa described. One can stop and  contemplate their own interpretation of the misty sculpture as they walk through the redeveloped area in  front of Leeuwarden station.
