Latest Harlingen hotel reviews
christerw Says: In the living room of a lovely Friesian canalside house is the world's oldest functioning planetarium. This accurately moving model of the solar system was built between 1774 and 1781 by Eise Eisinga, a wool carder.It still functions, you can see that when you visit the...
tini58de Says: The Harlingen Harbor Crane was THE sight of Harlingen for us. As you will be able to read on the following tips, this is a very unusual hotel - a once in a liftime experience to stay there overnight! The crane was still in use until 1996 and was afterwards redone to serve as...
tini58de Says: On our way back to the harbor we passed by this nice little marina. What an idyllic place: to the left we had the marina, to the right a street with beautiful renaissance houses - so we stopped for a little while just to enjoy!
tini58de Says: Near one of the canals we came across this beautiful house. Once again I am not very helpful, because I do not know anything of its history, purpose or whatsoever (Tourist Information was closed since we were there after 6 p.m.). Maybe anybody who knows Harlingen can help me...
tini58de Says: While strolling through Harlingen we came across this church. It was pretty impressive from the outside, huge spire - but once again (and that happened to us quite a few times while in the Netherlands) we could not get in! So unfortunately I can only share the outside view...
tini58de Says: We proceeded on and enjoyed a lovely walk through Harlingen. Actually you cannot get lost, because Harlingen is not a huge city - plus: there are good signs that direct you to all the sights there are! Both options are nice: to either stroll around just so or to explore the...
tini58de Says: Since we enjoyed our crane so much, we had to force ourselves to explore Harlingen a little, which we then did! We crossed the railway tracks - and there we were! The first real impressive house was a house now hosting the harbor police. The house is beautiful: renaissance...
ostia Says: Like all around Holland - you can find floating cafes in Harlingen, too.
Harlingen Harbor Crane: Breakfast with a View!
tini58de Says: At 8 a.m. sharp the elevator started to move and our breakfast was on the way!!! It was soooooooooo delicious!! We had 2 pairs of different bread rolls, two raisin rolls and two croissants, 4 small packs of butter and margerine, 3 little glasses of jam and honey, 3 salty and...
tini58de Says: Well, actually this is not really a nightlife tip, but it fits well together with the othr two tips, I think! Early in the morning - it was still a bit hazy - the sun went up painting the silhouette of Harlingen into a pastell color rosé........... What a sight to wake up...
tini58de Says: After the beautiful sunset we returned to the cabin of the harbor crane - then facing the city of Harlingen. We enjoyed the illumination of the city until we suddenly saw this unbelievably beautiful bright orange balloon... It took us a while until we realized that this was...
ATLC Says: This is the famous Magic Breeze. A prizewinning sailing yacht that has been around the world.
ostia Says: Walking in the town I discovered this let's say 'coat of arms' on a house. It's lovely, isn't it?
ostia Says: Sculpture - in memory of heroic effort made to build the dam what protects field and towns from sea
ostia Says: 'main street' next to the harbour.
ostia Says: I think this is the main church in Harlingen. Near the harbour. Made of typical Dutch, borwn bricks. I imagine that after wedding the just-married couple walks to the channel, takes a boat and sails for their honeymoon!
ostia Says: This church is somewhere inside the town.
Channel in front of railway station
ostia Says: Waterpalnts and weed makes this channel unforgetable - moreover how the light sliped on the surface! Vegetation provide excellent shelter and food for ducks, seabirds etc.
ostia Says: I saw this duck in a tiny channel near the railway station.

Harlingen - oh, what a night.....
. Flashback: In June 2004 I had an accident and ripped two ligaments on my right foot. That meant: much rest, leg up and hours and hours of TV zapping.... One of the few real exciting programs was a...
