Harlingen
Harns
A historic harbor town on the Wadden Sea, with merchant houses and old sailing ships lining its canals. It is also the departure point for ferries to Terschelling and Vlieland.
Harlingen is an important Frisian seaport and one of the Eleven Cities. The Noorderhaven canal is packed with traditional brown-sailed boats, and both banks are lined with 17th- and 18th-century merchant houses. From the dike you can see the Wadden Sea. There are piers here for ferries to the islands of Terschelling and Vlieland. You can also take a Wadden Sea sailing tour. From Leeuwarden, the train takes about 25 minutes to Harlingen Haven station.
