Additional Information & Description
Bolsward’s self-guided city walk puts the historic Frisian city at the centre of your visit. Explore this part of the northern Netherlands with a walking booklet and city map, following the route independently rather than joining a guided tour.
Broerekerk and the bulwarks
The route introduces you to Broerekerk and takes you across Bolsward’s bulwarks. These are two concrete highlights of a walk designed to reveal the city’s lesser-known places. The booklet provides information about Broerekerk, so the visit combines walking through historic Bolsward with learning about one of its distinctive buildings.
A 16-page guide to the city
Your ticket includes a 16-page self-guided walking tour booklet and a detailed city map. The booklet supplies the commentary for your walk, while the map helps you follow the route through Bolsward. Together, they give you written information and a geographical reference for exploring the city on foot.
The town hall’s stories
Gemeentehuis Bolsward, at 1 Wipstraat, houses Museum De Tiid within its monumental town hall complex. The museum explores the region’s history and identity through collection presentations and figures including Titus Brandsma, Gysbert Japicx and Trijntje Hilarides. Its permanent presentation also raises questions about shared history, including whether Grutte Pier should be understood as a saviour or a robber.

The walk’s starting address is 2 Jongemastraat. Tickets are delivered instantly and can be presented on a smartphone. The self-guided city walk is wheelchair accessible, giving visitors who use a wheelchair access to this walking experience.
What the walking ticket covers
This ticket provides the self-guided walking materials; it does not include entrance fees to attractions or monuments along the route. The distinction matters when planning time inside buildings: the city walk and admission to individual attractions are separate parts of a visit.
