Workum
One of the eleven historic cities of Friesland, Workum received its city rights in 1399 and retains a heritage-dense waterfront streetscape in the Dutch province of Friesland. The small town sits directly on the water and has a café and restaurant scene that outpaces the town's size, making it a practical base for exploring a region ringed by UNESCO World Heritage sites.
