Haarlem Canals, Grote Markt, and Historic Highlights
Meet your tour guide at Haarlem Central Station, which is itself one of the main sights in the whole country.
Stroll along the canals, enjoy magnificent city views, and see the working windmill as you learn more about the history of this old merchant city.
See humpback bridges, cosy hofjes, an old pharmacy, design stores, and lots of street sculptures.
Head to the main square, Grote Markt, which becomes especially busy on Saturdays when the farmers' market takes place here next to the majestic Cathedral and the Weight House.
Try some Dutch delicacies while listening to the magical bells ringing from the Cathedral tower.
Take a closer look at the town hall, The Butchers' Guild Hall, a museum of modern art, and an unusual sculpture.
Visit the Cathedral of St. Bavo, famous for its former status as home to the largest pipe organ in the world - the same one once played by 10-year-old Mozart.
Find the local "Red Light District," which is definitely less famous or crowded than the one in Amsterdam, but very cosy and authentic.
Move towards the riverside and see the luxurious Teylers museum, Frans Hals museum, and the "hiding place" where Jews were sheltered during World War II.
Visit one of the local design stores, famous for its incredible lamp collection.
Have some local beer, made according to an old recipe in a brewery located in a church.
