Haarlem
Description
Just a 15-minute train ride from Amsterdam, attractive Haarlem is a wonderful place to spend a day exploring. Start your visit at the Gothic and Renaissance-inspired Grote Markt (a 10-minute walk from the train station) located in the heart of the city. Nearby, also discover Sint Bavokerk. This massive Gothic church dwarfs the surrounding houses and shops and is therefore Haarlem's ultimate visual landmark. Afterwards head over to the city's chief attraction, the Frans Hal Museum located in the same house where the artist is believed to have spent his last and most successful years. An outstanding Flemish portraitist, he was thought to be even more talented than Rembrandt. If you get hungry, return to the Grote Markt for a selection of the city's best restaurants.
