Eyes short in a royal city full of striking memories from a chic past. The imposing Oldehove, for example. For almost five centuries, the most crooked tower in the Netherlands has managed to hold its own. Palaces and other monuments recall the time when the Nassaus lived in Leeuwarden. Or you can learn more about Mata Hari, the dancing diva who spent her childhood in Leeuwarden. You will also see 'Us Mem', the proud mother of the Frisian pedigree cattle. But Leeuwarden is also a business center, has a varied nightlife and beautiful museums. In short, you will certainly like Ljouwert.
