Haarlem is one of the most historical, rich, and lovely cities in the Netherlands! Let’s figure out what secrets are hiding behind its quiet alleys and cozy canals!
Strolling along the canals and watching the magnificent city views and the working windmill, we will get to know more about the history of this old merchant city. There will be plenty of local sightseeing on our way, such as the humpback bridges, cozy yards-hofjes, old pharmacy, design stores, and lots of street sculptures, but of course, we would not miss visiting main sightseeings too!
We would like to offer you some local beer, made according to an old recipe in a brewery located in the church!
