THINGS TO DO IN HAARLEM
Our Favorite Highlights
Haarlem really offers the best of both worlds: it feels cozy and easy to navigate, yet there’s so much to do. You can enjoy strolling through the old streets, grab a seat at an outdoor café, or just take in the sights. Planning a day trip there? Then here are three things you really shouldn’t miss:
Hidden behind small doors in the city center, you'll find beautiful, historic courtyards. As soon as you step inside, it suddenly becomes completely silent. It's so much fun to take a quick stroll through them!
Forget the typical shopping streets. In the small streets around the Grote Markt, you'll actually find plenty of cool boutiques, vintage shops, and specialty stores.
Fancy something to eat or drink? Then be sure to stop by the Jopenkerk. It’s an old church that’s been converted into a cozy brewery with a great restaurant.
