"Interesting Frisian town" Franeker by Britannia2

A very interesting and scenic town that centres on a beautiful town hall. It is also home to the worlds oldest working planetarium and a corn museum.
This was one of the first Frisian towns I had ever been to and it was interesting to see the slight difference between Franeker and other similar size Dutch towns in central Holland that I know so well.
There is a real feeling of actually travelling to get here - the town is compact and easy to find your way around although the railway station and car parks are some distance from the town centre.

• Pros:History on view in a compact town
• Cons:Parking and the station some way out
