Vliet Tuinen en Frisia is a quiet, predominantly green residential neighbourhood on the edge of Franeker, the historic Frisian town known for its planetarium and compact city centre.

There you will find a supermarket, shops, eateries and the historic city centre with its characteristic canals.
For schools, families are well catered for in and around the neighbourhood. Franeker has several primary schools, including Christian and public variants, and for secondary education children can attend the Franeker Lyceum.
