The poetry route

Taking good care of yourself, both physically and mentally, comes together perfectly with the Poetry Route. Since the first ten poetry stones were laid in Leeuwarden in 1993, several have been added each year to this unique route through the city center. For €8, you can pick up a booklet with the route, the poems, and information about the poet and the respective poem at the Leeuwarden Visitor Center. Walk alone or with company through the picturesque city center and let yourself be amazed by the literary masterpieces you encounter along the way.
