Bolsward

One of the eleven historic Frisian cities, Bolsward sits alongside canals — the Stadsgracht and Leeuwardervaart run through the town — in the Dutch province of Friesland, with a heritage-dense centre and a tiny cluster of cafés and restaurants. The wider region holds several UNESCO World Heritage sites within easy reach.
