Located in the west of the province of Friesland, Sneek is immersed in an almost unreal setting with its old buildings standing majestically on the banks. A meeting place for lovers of beautiful architecture, Sneek is also a must for boating enthusiasts.
A paradise for sailing and water sports
Lovers of sailing and water sports will enjoy dropping anchor in Sneek. Located about twenty kilometers from Leeuwarden, the town of Sneek hosts all the finals of the traditional sailing race known as the Skûtsjesilen championships. This major European race, held on Sneekweek lake every summer, is a delight for fans of water sports.
Because in addition to the sailing regatta, you can also veer off into sport fishing, with the option of a license-free river yacht charter in Sneek. Young daredevils can try their hand at surfing, while families can enjoy a trip in a canoe. Swimming is also on the agenda!
In winter, the city plunges into a festive and lively atmosphere along the canals. You can indeed attend the unmissable skating endurance race on the canals crossing the municipality of Sneek.
A short journey back in time on the water
With several canals, the charming town of Sneek also invites you to dive into the heart of its history along the water. History buffs and lovers of beautiful buildings will revel in the obvious delights of their little river excursion. It is difficult not to succumb to the charm of the unmissable Watergate or Porte de l'eau. This splendid gate, built over a canal in 1613, is a marvel to behold!
After immortalizing this majestic gate, the pride of Sneek, continue your historical tour of the city by lingering in front of the 15th-century Saint Martin's Church or the Town Hall, built in 1550. Its ancient buildings, museums and gastronomy promise you a pleasant journey back in time.
