Visitors can immerse themselves in ancient Frisian culture, enjoying the historic architecture and local stories and legends that make each town unique. Whether strolling the ancient streets, admiring centuries-old buildings, or exploring local museums and galleries, each city offers a unique glimpse into Friesland's rich past.

On a trip to Leeuwarden

Leeuwarden, the bustling capital of Friesland, offers a rich mix of culture and history. At the Fries Museum, you can delve into Frisian art, culture and history. The Wilhelminaplein, also known as the Zaailand, is the beating heart of the city with countless events and activities. Explore the historic city center with its unique stores and cozy cafes, or take a relaxing boat ride along the canals. Leeuwarden is a city where history meets modernity.

Summary created out of 190 reviews

EuroParcs Hindeloopen is located on the IJsselmeer and offers modern, stylishly furnished accommodations with stunning water views. Guests appreciate the tranquility, direct access to private beaches, and the friendly reception staff. The location is perfect for water sports enthusiasts and families wanting to enjoy nature and the nearby picturesque village of Hindeloopen. However, the park struggles with a significant spider and mosquito problem due to the absence of window screens, making ventilation difficult and causing houses to heat up quickly without climate control. Additionally, cleanliness upon arrival is inconsistent, laundry facilities are missing, and the restaurant and shop have limited opening hours with a modest selection.

    In general, it’s great there. However, the bungalows can vary quite a bit from one to the next. Some have insect screens, others don’t. This is a big deal, though, since there are tons of mosquitoes there. The bungalows also get extremely hot inside, which makes it almost unbearable to be in them on hot nights. That said, there are plenty of great … things about it, too. The basic amenities are very good, and the beach was great as well. The selection at the small supermarket is also better than expected. The staff at the front desk provide good service, too.

    Prinzipiell ist es super Dort. Die Bungalows unterscheiden sich individuell teilweise aber sehr. Manche haben Insektengitter, andere nicht. Diese sind aber erheblich, da es dort jede Menge Mücken gibt. Auch werden die Bungalows extrem heiß innen, was es fast unerträglich macht in ihnen zu sein an heißen Nächten. Allerdings gibt es auch viel tolles. Die prinzipielle Ausstattung ist sehr gut und auch der Strand war toll. Der kleine Supermarkt ist von der Auswahl auch besser als gedacht. Die Leute an der Rezeption bieten auch einen guten Service

    A beautiful park in a great location; the beach is within easy walking distance and ideal for children because the water is very shallow.
    The accommodations were very nice, spacious, modern, and clean; all rooms were equipped with fly screens on the windows and doors.
    The park is very clean, has some nice playgrounds for children, and also … an indoor play area.
    The restaurant is clean, but the food isn’t good. It’s almost exclusively fast food—very expensive and really, really bad.
    The small convenience store in the park has a relatively good selection and has pretty much everything you need in a pinch.
    We had a wonderful family vacation and would love to come back.

    Schöner Park mit guter Lage, Strand ist fußläufig gut erreichbar und gut für Kinder geeignet, da das Wasser sehr flach ist.
    Die Unterkunft was sehr schön,geräumig modern und sauber, alle Zimmer mit Fliegengitter/-Tür versehen.
    Der Park ist sehr sauber, hat für Kinder einige schöne Spielplätzen und auch einen Indoor Spielbereich.
    Das Restaurant ist sauber aber das Essen ist nicht gut. Fast nur Fast Food ,sehr teuer und schlecht echt schlecht.
    Der kleine Einkaufsladen im Park ist vom Sortiment relativ gut aufgestellt und hat soweit alles was man für den Notfall braucht.
    Wir hatten einen schönen Urlaub in Familie und kommen gern wieder.
