Harlingen, Historic port city in Friesland, Netherlands.
The municipality extends along the Wadden Sea coast, featuring a network of canals, traditional warehouses, and a commercial harbor that handles maritime traffic.
The settlement received its city rights in 1234 when local monks constructed canals to facilitate trade, transforming the area into a maritime center.
Warehouses and mansions from past centuries line the waterfront, displaying carved gable stones that served as early building identifiers before street numbers existed.
Two railway stations connect Harlingen to Leeuwarden, while ferries operated by Rederij Doeksen provide regular service to the Wadden Islands.
The town's former lighthouse has been transformed into accommodations where guests can experience maritime life from an elevated perspective.
