With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it'd be much harder to experience everything that Heerenveen, 20 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here ought to be Thialf Ice Stadium, Abe Lenstra Stadium and Heerenveen Museum. Situated 25 miles away, Groningen is another place to aim for. If you drop by, make sure you check out Prinsenhof Gardens, Visual Arts Centre and De Oosterpoort.
