EnglishWould you like to know what there is to see and do, and where? On the map below, you’ll find the locations of all the tall ships and the various squares.
The event site is right next to Harlingen Haven railway station and is therefore easily accessible by train. Arriva is running extra-long trains and has a special promotional ticket that allows you to travel to Harlingen. For just €12.50, you can travel all day
unlimited in the North.

We have set up several large car parks on the outskirts of the city especially for all visitors to Sail Harlingen. You can park in these car parks. From the motorway, simply follow the signs. From 9.30 am until one hour after the event has finished, shuttle buses will run from the car parks to the
event venue.

Are you ordering a drink at the bar? If so, you’ll be served in a cup with a deposit. This means you pay for your drink and for the cup as well. If you then order another drink, you hand in your used cup and receive a clean one in return. At the end of the day, you can hand your cup in at the bar. The deposit will then be refunded to your bank account. Or you can take the cup home with you. There are four designs, each featuring a different tall ship – so start collecting!

We aim to be accessible to everyone. The event site is also wheelchair accessible. Unfortunately
It is not possible to board all ships in a wheelchair. People with disabilities can park in a designated car park next to the event site upon presentation of their disabled parking permit and a valid Harlingen Sail parking permit. We also have a special
a wheelchair-accessible area from which anyone in a wheelchair can get a good view of the performances on the main stage.
For anyone who is sensitive to stimuli, the elderly and people with disabilities, we have a special low-stimulus hour. On Sunday morning, 5 July, the event site will be open from 10.00 am, an hour before the main influx of visitors. This will allow you to admire all the beautiful tall ships in relative peace and quiet.
