Heerenveen is small but punches above its weight on two fronts: ice and football. The Thialf arena is the world's most storied speed skating venue, and SC Heerenveen fills the Abe Lenstra Stadion in season. Beyond sport, the historic core has a handful of stately buildings, a working windmill, and the Museum Heerenveen, which tells the story of the town's peat-cutting origins.
