5 Top things to do in Haarlem: More than an Amsterdam side trip

In this video we explore Haarlem. A short train ride from Amsterdam, the vibrant Dutch city is often overlooked by tourists and locals. But with its rich culture, scenery and attractions, it is certainly worth a visit, particularly for those wanting to see a side of the Netherlands other than that presented by the country's famous and chaotic capital. Join us as we visit various attractions including the city’s grand central train station, a local market, a highly-regarded traditional fish stand (Leo van Rhijn) and the National Park Zuid-Kennemerland.

At the park where you ate the fish, you have the museum Van de Geest. It is a beautiful museum.

A herring from Leo van Rijn, Frans Hals plein, I can confirm. Skip the onion, don't mess with a perfect taste.

Just spent a week in Haarlem. Used it for a base to explore other areas. But spent a lot of time just knocking about the city. One stop that's worth while is a visit to "Adrian" the windmill. Seems everything in town is an 8 to 10 minute walk from the " Grote Markt".

Anywhere I went was gorgeous.

As a kid I used to swim in that lake in the dunes. Often I would get a rash, red bumps so there's unfortunately something in the water. Lots of algea for sure which could be the cullprit. Haarlem is like a smaller version of Amsterdam, not so busy and more cozy.

Sweet. Keep your eyes peeled for Kabouters. I hear De Peele and Twente are the hot spots but that looks likely gnome country to me.

[@v.j.6301]

Thanks for this overview! I wanted to ask how long you walk from Velserbroek to Haarlem centre? Thank you in advance!

[@JigglePhysics3000]

Depends how fast you walk, but I'd say at least half an hour.

[@privateeyetravelguy]

Wozu den Markt zeigen ? Sowas gibt es in jeder STADT ? Will man nicht die Athmosphäre der Stadt mit Strassen und die Aufmachung der Geschäfte - Vinkels , Cafes und die schmalen Strassen , wie INNENHÖFE ( Biginenhof jes ?) sehen und " einatmen " . Es kommt die Meeresluft über Haarlem ! Bahnhöfe kennen meist Leute auch zur Genüge . 😊
