Did you know that the residents of Haarlem are also known as “mosquitoes”? Various theories about the origin of this nickname will be shared in detail during the audio tour.

Here are just a few examples of the many attractions you will encounter:

• The St. Bavo Church in Haarlem - The Grote or Sint Bavokerk, also known as the Big or Saint Bavo Church, is a late medieval church showcasing a magnificent Brabantine Gothic architectural style. During the Dutch Reformation, it was one of the churches that was stormed, destroyed, and looted, resulting in the tragic death of a priest. This event led to significant interior damage, but many local painters have worked to restore the art.
• Teylers Museum - The exterior of Teylers Museum is a true visual delight, and its beautiful rooms are among the best-preserved from the 18th century. The museum is partly Pieter Teyler’s former home and partly a venue for exhibitions and activities. The building unites art and science under one roof, a concept that was revolutionary in Pieter Teyler’s time. There is much to discover in this collection, offering something for everyone.
• Jopen - Once a Free Reformed Church, the Jopen church is no longer a place of worship. Since 2010, it has been owned by Jopen BV, a local Haarlem brewery. While the interior has been preserved, the building’s purpose has changed. Enjoy the story of this beautiful and unique brewery, perhaps while savoring a delicious Jopen beer. Cheers!
• Spaarne - The Spaarne River has always been crucial to Haarlem’s history. Existing for over 4000 years, it connected Haarlem to the world long before the railways. The river flows directly through the city, and in the summer, it is popular for water activities, with special canal tours offering a unique perspective of the city.
