Route to Harlingen

Are you travelling to Harlingen soon? Because you are visiting our port city, or because you are travelling on to Terschelling or Vlieland? Our renovated parking facilities are the perfect starting point for starting your outing or holiday. Here you will find all the information you need for a carefree trip to our port city. Be well prepared and leave your cares at home.

Visit the islands

If you’re travelling to Harlingen to visit the islands, road signs will show you the way to our parking facilities. A shuttle bus runs from these locations and runs in line with the times of the ferry service. In high season, around the holidays and during events, we recommend leaving a little earlier than usual. Because the bridges in the city centre are often open, we recommended following the signs and driving around – via Midlum. This prevents a mad rush and gives you time to enjoy a relaxed start to your holiday.
