A 3-day city trip to Leeuwarden for your group: the Oldehove, the Escher museum, the Franeker planetarium and Harlingen harbour.

Capital of Friesland, a province with its own language, Leeuwarden has kept its canals and its unfinished leaning tower, the Oldehove. The former stadtholders' palace houses a museum devoted to the prints of M.C. Escher, who was born in the city. Your group also discovers Franeker and the Eise Eisinga Planetarium, the oldest still working in the world, then the harbour of Harlingen, on the Wadden Sea.
