Franeker

Sights near Franeker are inextricably linked to the "elfstedentocht", the eleven cities tour. Not only the famous skating trip goes through the city, but thousands of participants in e.g. cycling, hiking, engines-, canoe-tours pass the stamping station in the city.

The city is also known worldwide from the Royal Eise Eisinga Planetarium. The model of our planetary system was created over two hundred years ago by Eise Eisinga. The town has many historic buildings, such as the Town Hall, the "Korendragershuisje" and the Martini Church (ca. 1421). Also the old Frisian stinzen of the nobility (Cammingahuis Martenahuis 1498, 14th century) and the stronghold with its guardhouses, the imposing professors homes and buildings, the Academy café de Bogt Fen Guné (oldest students café of the province of Friesland), the Museum Martena and many more are worth a visit.
