Vlieland

Vlieland is one of the Frisian Islands. It is also one of the municipalities of the Dutch province of Friesland. Vlieland lies between Texel and Terschelling in the Wadden Sea.

There is only one settlement on the island, called Oost-Vlieland. As in 2006, there are 1140 people living there.

The harbor of Oost-Vlieland is served by ferries to and from the town of Harlingen on mainland Friesland and the Terschelling island. The ships are operated by the Doeksen company. There is one bus route on the island, that connects Oost-Vlieland and the camping areas. This service is provided by TCR Vlieland company.

Vlieland is a popular tourist destination. There are two camping areas, about fifteen hotels and many rooms and cottage for hire. Tourists are not allowed to bring their car, so bicycles are the main means of transportation.
