Itinerario

1. 1

   Enclosing Dike

   On our way north, we'll make a stop at the iconic Afsluitdijk (Enclosing Dike), one of the world's greatest feats of water engineering. Construction of this remarkable 32-kilometre-long barrier began a century ago, connecting the provinces of North Holland and Friesland while protecting a large part of the Netherlands from the sea. Today, it stands as a powerful symbol of Dutch innovation and the country's centuries-long battle against water.

   We continue to the province of Friesland to visit one of its greatest hidden treasures: the charming town of Franeker. As one of Friesland's legendary Eleven Cities, Franeker boasts picturesque canals, historic streets, and impressive monuments. During a leisurely walk through the town, you'll admire highlights such as the iconic Grain Sack Carrier's House and the beautiful Town Hall.

   The true highlight, however, is the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Eise Eisinga Planetarium—the oldest working planetarium in the world. Built between 1774 and 1781 by Frisian wool comber Eise Eisinga, this extraordinary, fully functioning model of the solar system hangs from the ceiling of his living room in a historic canal house. Its remarkable precision and craftsmanship continue to amaze visitors more than two centuries later. After exploring the planetarium, you'll have some free time to enjoy lunch.
