Harlingen

Harlingen straddles the meeting of the Wadden Sea and Friesland in Frisia, a position that has made it one of the province’s principal seaports. Its working harbour opens onto the UNESCO-listed Wadden Sea, whose tidal flats and channels define this stretch of Dutch coast. Ferries leave here for Terschelling and Vlieland, linking the mainland with the West Frisian Islands. Inland, canals pass old warehouses and merchants’ houses, reminders of long maritime trade; Harlingen received city rights in 1234.
