Hi,
Born in Haarlem and having worked with the Dutch Board of Tourism, I will be proud to show you the prettiest place in The Netherlands. Without a hurry because Haarlem is an easy going town, far less crowded and touristy than Amsterdam. Even older as well!
Nowadays I live in the outskirts, four miles from the city center and hop on my bike every time I feel like shopping, try a new restaurant, visit an exhibition in one of its magnificent museums or just feel the vibe. Will you join me?
