The harbour of Urk is situated close to the old centre of the fishing village, with its narrow streets, alleyways and fishermen’s cottages. Here you’ll find the Tourist Info Urk inspiration centre, a Tourist Transfer Point featuring a map and various route suggestions, as well as a large, free car park for cars and around twenty campervans.
During the summer months, the harbour area is buzzing with activity. For instance, there is a busy fish auction open to the public, where you can see the freshly landed fish for yourself and witness how it is auctioned on the spot. The harbour is a great starting point for exploring the characteristic fishing village further.
