Stop At: Haarlem Railway Station, Stationsplein 11 L, 2011 LR Haarlem The Netherlands

It only takes a safe, convenient and direct 15-minute train ride to escape the city crowds of Amsterdam yet hardly any tourist finds its way to this stately city. Just like most capital cities Amsterdam does not (fully) represent the rest of the country and it is fantastic to see what's the rest of the country is like and to find those amazing views of Holland that you see published everywhere.

The easiest way (and place) to meet your guide is right outside Haarlem Central Station from where you start this exciting walking tour of Haarlem.
