Festivals, Art & Local Vibes

Leeuwarden is full of energy all year round. No matter what time of year you come, there’s always something going on - from concerts and festivals to exhibitions, performances, and social meetups.

Most events take place in and around the city centre, just a short walk or bike ride from Notiz Hotel. It’s a great way to discover the creative and cultural side of the city, meet new people, and enjoy something different - no matter the season.
