How to get there 53.1125, 6.0989

Town in the Dutch province of Friesland with a walkable centre offering cafés, restaurants, and waterside access, Drachten serves as the regional hub for shopping and services in the area between Groningen and Heerenveen. It grew rapidly from a pocket-sized village only in the mid-20th century, so its historic heritage is modest, though some listed architecture can be found nearby.
