Dokkum is a sjarmant town, one of the Frisian eleven cities and a hidden gem in the north of the Netherlands! This picturesque town has everything you're looking for for a relaxing holiday: historic charm, cosy streets and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Dokkum is famous as the place where the missionary Boniface spent his last days in 754, and you can discover more about this history in the Boniface Park and its chapel. Stroll along the atmospheric canals and admire the historic facades, some of which date back to the 16th and 17th centuries. The old city walls and bulwarks, perfectly preserved, make a walk extra special. For those who love shopping, there are cozy boutiques and craft shops. Also take the time to settle down on a terrace by the water with a local beer or a cup of coffee.

This unique UNESCO World Heritage Site is a place where nature and tranquility come together, perfect for an unforgettable holiday. Whether you're a nature lover, an adventurer, or just want to relax, the Wadden Sea offers something for everyone. During a visit to the Wadden Sea, you will experience a landscape that is constantly changing with the tide. At low tide, the sea reveals its hidden treasures: a vast mudflats full of mud, shells and traces of the rich life below the surface. Mudflat hiking is the best way to discover this wonderful nature reserve. Put on your boots (or go barefoot) and follow a guide through the muddy plains. Along the way, you'll learn all about the birds, crabs, and shellfish that make this region so special. Would you rather enjoy the peace and quiet? Visit one of the beautiful Wadden Islands such as Ameland, Terschelling, or Schiermonnikoog. Here you will find endless sandy beaches, dunes and picturesque villages. Rent a bike and explore the islands at your leisure. Don't forget to stop at a beach pavilion for a cup of coffee or a freshly caught fish. There are also plenty of options for the adventurous. Board a boat and go on a seal safari. These curious animals often rest on the sandbanks and like to show themselves. Or take a mudflat excursion at night and discover how the landscape changes under the stars. The Wadden Sea is not only a place to visit, but to experience. The rhythm of ebb and flow, the vast views and the fresh sea air ensure that you can completely relax. Whether you opt for a day trip, a weekend getaway, or a longer stay: the Wadden Sea is a destination you won't soon forget.
