Beautiful Haarlem

Haarlem
Haarlem is a quaintly beautiful little town that can be very gezellig. Located only minutes by train from Amsterdam Central Station, Haarlem is definitely worth a day trip or two. Haarlem is full of restuarants, nice stores and much culture. There are several popular musems visit and large beautiful churches to see and explore.

Haarlem is a wonderful place to stay while visiting Holland to get away from the craziness of Amsterdam. There are many nice and very resonably priced accommodations available from B&B's, to hotels, or apartments, Haarlem has it all. Have some Accommodation TIPS listed below.

 Although I haven't been in Haarlem in over 6 years the Empire Coffee shop was a pleasant place to enjoy a trip to the Grote Markt.I hope that during my visit this May it will have the same ambiance! BB

 Nice Haarlem pages. My friend used to live there and we often fed the ducks on the water at Spaarne with her little girl.
