Sneek, is the most famous city within the eleven Frisian cities. This degree of popularity is due to its characteristic “waterpoort”, in translation “watergate”. The city is also famous for the Sneekweek which is one of the biggest events on inland waters in Europe. Therefore, Sneek especially attracts water sport tourists. It lies in the middle of the Frisian lake district and is therefore most suitable for all activities related to water. But not only the surroundings of Sneek shows the city’s historical bound to water, but also the ample opportunities of transportation on the water within the city centre.

Besides the extensive offer for water activities Sneek also offers all kind of other recreational facilities, such as many shopping streets, restaurants, bars and cafes.
