Poertoren es el punto de partida para visitar esta imponente ciudad considerada como la Venecia del norte. Por el trazado de sus calles, es el punto de acceso más recomendable para volver de nuevo al mismo punto después de sumergirse en otro tiempo, admirando sus construcciones y bellos canales que gozan de tan excelente conservación.
