Haarlem is just a 30 minute drive from Amsterdam and perfect to explore by bike and the beaches of Bloemendaal and Zandvoort are also just 30 minutes cycling away.

This lovely city is nice to tour by boat as well, or just stroll around the small streets and alleys to discover historic buildings like de Amsterdamse Poort, authentic boutiques, for example in the buzzing Grote Houtstraat. It is a great city for shopping, enjoying the many terraces and exploring the quaint Dutch facades in the many cute alleyways.
