Stavoren city walk
This city walk will introduce you to the 7 treasures of Stavoren. The former Zuiderzee and Hanseatic city has seen some very good times but certainly also some pretty bad ones. Yet the residents always knew how to make the best of things and preserve the beauty of the oldest Frisian port city. Did you know that Stavoren even had its own currency at one point? Thanks to the flourishing trade with many countries from its port. Enjoy a walk through this welcoming port city on the IJsselmeer lake, where historic sailing ships have found a home port.
