Prinsentuin
A private garden of the Frisian stadtholders in the 17th century, laid out along the moat. It is Leeuwarden’s oldest city park.
The Prinsentuin began as a court garden of the Nassau stadtholder family in the 17th century. It was later opened to citizens. It stretches along the moat on the north side of the old town and features old trees, a music pavilion, lawns and a small herb garden. In summer, open-air concerts are often held here. It is a good place to stroll and rest after visiting the Leaning Tower and the Princessehof. Admission is free.
