No wonder the city became a protected heritage area in 1988. You can admire the intimate paintings by rag and bone man Jopie Huisman and there is also a museum that will introduce you to the rich history of Workum.Or visit the beach because this Elfstedenstad, located on the IJsselmeer, has an ideal beach for children and (kite) surfers because the water is shallow.
