We will meet at the Haarlem Central Station, which in itself is one of the main sightseeings of the whole country! Strolling along the canals and watching a magnificent city view and the working windmill, we will get to know more about history of this old merchant city.
There are will be plenty of local sightseeings 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!
Our road will bring us to the main square Grote Markt, which becomes especially busy on Saturdays, when the farmer market takes its place just here next to the majestic Cathedral and the Weight house. Here you can try some Dutch delicacies and national food (cheese, herring) while listening to magical bells ringing from the tower of the Cathedral!
While walking around the square, we take a closer look at the town hall, The Butchers' Guild Hall, a museum of modern art, an unusual sculpture and will definitely visit the Cathedral of St. Bavo, famous for its former largest pipe organ in the world, the one that 10-year-old Mozart played once!
Walking through this neighborhood we will try to find the local ‘Red Light District’, which is definitely less famous or crowded than the one in Amsterdam, but very cozy and authentic!
Moving towards the riverside, we will happen to see luxurious Teylers museum, Frans Hals museum and 'hiding place' where Jews were sheltered during World War II.
In addition, we will definitely visit one of the local design stores, famous for its incredible lamp collection. After a long walk thought the city we would like to offer you some local beer, made according to an old recipe in brewery located in the church!
