When visiting the province of Friesland, you can’t really skip its capital city, Leeuwarden. Fun fact: in 2018, Leeuwarden was named European Capital of Culture. Since R. and I both have the Dutch Museum Pass, which allows us to visit museums for free, we’ve visited a few museums here in Leeuwarden. When in Leeuwarden, you can’t really miss the leaning Oldehove tower You can also enter the tower and climb all the way to the top, which we did. From up there, you get a lovely view over the city. We also discovered some delicious and affordable food spots and spent some time exploring the city center of Leeuwarden. 📍First museum stop:  Natuur Museum Fryslân As the name would suggest, it's a museum about animals and nature. These mini toilets are cute and fun and teaches us about the different sizes dump animals can make 💩 📍The leaning Oldehove Tower We climbed all the way to the top. The view up there is lovely. A quick sushi and poke bowl lunch.  📍Second museum stop: He...

Our vacation in Friesland, also known as Frisia or Fryslân in the Frisian language. Friesland is one of the provinces of the Netherlands. While Dutch is spoken here, the province also has its own official language: Frisian. I've always wanted to visit this beautiful province, so R. and I spent a week exploring it. Our first stop is the city of Sneek. As luck would have it, it's also Sneekweek, the town's annual festival. The city is especially lively, with markets, a funfair, and boats filling the canals. We opted for a quieter activity instead: a visit to the museum. 📍Frisian Maritime Museum And the museum is super quiet, which we love.  Overall, a museum about the maritime history of Frisia. And they also have a kids section and this section was fun!  And we had this place all by ourselves, woo!  As dinner we got ourselves delicious falafels and ice cream.   Our accomadation at WestCord WTC Hotel Leeuwarden (capital city of Friesland)
