Haarlem

Haarlem combines the calm of a waterside historic centre with the energy of a provincial capital in a way that reflects its position on the River Spaarne in North Holland. The Grote Markt is anchored by the Gothic St Bavo Church, whose celebrated Christian Müller organ was played by the young Mozart in 1766. Nearby, the Frans Hals Museum presents Dutch Golden Age art, including works by the Haarlem portraitist after whom it is named. Brick streets, courtyards known as hofjes, and waterside warehouses recall a prosperous trading past, while rail connections link the city with Amsterdam and the North Sea coast.
