Experience Leeuwarden Spring!
Spring in Leeuwarden



With spring now in full bloom, the dark and chilly days are officially behind us. Longer, brighter days are on the horizon, full of colour, energy, and new discoveries. Leeuwarden is waking up from its winter nap, and as the sunlight casts a fresh glow over the city, the tour boats are getting their annual shine, the Oldehove is still charmingly crooked (some things never change), and the terraces are buzzing once more. Celebrate the season in Leeuwarden: enjoy the best spring events, join unexpected tours, and take a moment to reflect on 80 years of freedom.
