Harlingen is the only seaside city in Fryslân. A city full of monuments and history. Ferries depart from the city to the Wadden Islands of Vlieland and Terschelling. A large fleet of historic ships calls Harlingen home. The city has a vibrant trading history and remains an important fishing port. The atmosphere is relaxed. Its location on the UNESCO World Heritage Wadden Sea is breathtakingly beautiful. And on the border between city and tidal flats stand Ahoy and Wachter.
