- Haarlem - If you’ve never been to the Netherlands before then the medieval city of Haarlem with its picture perfect cityscape is probably what you imagined the Netherlands to be. Located in the centre of the bulb-region and nick-named by many as Little Amsterdam, in this charming city you will not only find a windmill along the river, a grand cathedral, beautiful historical houses with classical facades, hidden courtyards and narrow streets, but also a vibrant but relaxed and quiet atmosphere.
- Haarlem Railway Station - It only takes a safe, convenient and direct 15-minute train ride to escape the city crowds of Amsterdam yet hardly any tourist finds its way to this stately city. Just like most capital cities Amsterdam does not (fully) represent the rest of the country and it is fantastic to see what’s the rest of the country is like and to find those amazing views of Holland that you see published everywhere.
The easiest way (and place) to meet your guide is right outside Haarlem Central Station from where you start this exciting walking tour of Haarlem.
- Teylers Hofje - This historical city has always been important and prominent in Holland and it once was a major North Sea trading port surrounded by a defensive wall. In the Dutch 17th century the city was a popular place to live and stay for the rich and powerful. The architectural wealth from those controversial and dark days is still seen all over the city, just like its medieval character with cobble-stoned streets and gabled houses.
- Centraal Station - Not comfortable traveling to Haarlem on your own? It is possible to add a travel escort to your booking who travels with you from Amsterdam Central Station to Haarlem.
- Private guide
- Taxes, fees and handling charges
