Friesland information

Friesland

The Friesland region in northern Holland glistens with dozens of lakes and is perfect for all kinds of watersports. Locks are left open throughout the summer and lift bridges become a great meeting place. For a glimpse of a more traditional way of life, cruise to some of Hollands best fishing villages at Giethoorn, Elburg, Spakenburg or Muiden.

You could also cruise to the cosmopolitan city of Amsterdam, passing colourful fields of tulips and slender 17th-century houses on the way.
