If you have a little extra time and you’re willing to travel 25 miles, take a look at Heerenveen. This place offers a world of things to keep you occupied. Among your first few stops here should be Thialf Ice Stadium, Abe Lenstra Stadium and Heerenveen Museum. The locals will also likely point you in the direction of Groningen, 40 miles away. If you only have time for one attraction here, let it be Prinsenhof Gardens. (But we’re also huge fans of Visual Arts Centre and De Oosterpoort.)
