Leeuwarden is the capital city of
the province of Friesland, situated in the north of the country.
It sits on the canal between Harlingen and Groningen, about 35
kms west of Groningen. Leeuwarden is the starting and finishing
point for the celebrated Elfstedentocht, a 200km-long speed skating
race over the Frisian waterways that is held when winter conditions
in the province allow. It is also the site of the country's largest
cattle market, and on Ascension Day, the largest flower market
in the Netherlands is held here. |
