Sneek is a lively water sports town, but there's more to Sneek!
Besides water sports and the lake (Sneekermeer), Sneek has much more to offer. The town is richly endowed with old monuments and townscapes, has several museums, a pleasant and varied shopping area, and is full of pavement cafes, bars, and restaurants.
On this tour, you will discover the best attractions of this wonderful town. Your tour will start at Market street – the heart of the old Sneek and a former marketplace.
The tour will continue on Schaapmarktplein – a picturesque plaza with little cafes and shops. Then you'll see the symbol of Sneek, the Watergate built in 1613. Nowadays, it is part of the Dutch heritage.
Of course, you won't miss Saint Martinus church – the neo-gothic cruciform church designed by Mr. Pierre Cuypers, who also created the facade of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
The tour will lead you back to Market street, where you'll discover the Town Hall, which has one of the most attractive rococo fronts in the north of Holland.
