Eleven Cities of Fryslân, each with its own charm

Signs of the rich trading history and early seafaring are evident everywhere in the Eleven Cities of Fryslân, each of which has its own unique charm.

The cities vary in size: Sloten has 900 inhabitants, while Leeuwarden, the capital, has 90.000. That’s why it’s such an experience to visit every one of the Eleven Cities. It probably won’t be possible to participate in the famous Eleven Cities Tour on ice skates but the tour can also be done by bicycle, on a boat, by car or even on foot.

The Frisian Eleven Cities are really worth a visit. The Eleven Cities have a colourful and varied history. Some of them have lots of history and derived their city laws through theirinternational position of trade.
You can do the Eleven Cities tour in many ways. Go by bike, step, boat, car, motor cycle or on your roller skates. You can even walk the Eleven Cities of Friesland.
