Leeuwarden is the capital of the Dutch province Friesland.

[edit] Get in

[edit] By car

From Amsterdam, Leeuwarden can be reached by two different routes: the western route via the A7 and the A31 and the eastern one via the A1, A6 and A32.

[edit] By train

A direct intercity service connects Leeuwarden to both Amsterdam and Schiphol Airport. The journey will take about two and a half hours.
