Hidden Gardens 1/2 day Take a 15-minute train ride from Amsterdam Central Station to Haarlem Station (platform 1 or 2, trains run every 10 mins). With 21 unique examples, Haarlem is truly a city of 'hofjes'. These hidden gardens are surrounded by almshouses, where poor, unmarried and widowed women once lived. Be sure to visit Hofje van Bakenes, which, founded in 1395, is the oldest. There are special guided walks through these gardens (available at the Tourist Information Centre A, Grote Markt 2). Most hofjes can be visited daily except Sundays, and entrance is free. Finish your morning with lunch or a cup of coffee at one of the many cafés and restaurants on the Grote Markt square in the city centre. Or bring your own food and enjoy a picnic in De Haarlemmerhout park , the oldest green monument in the Netherlands. You can reach the park in minutes from Haarlem Station (bus 340, 346 or 356 to the Tempeliersstraat stop). Located at the edge of the park, the beautiful neoclassical Paviljoen Welgelegen has been the seat of the provincial government since 1930. Walk around this 60-acre park and discover deer, a petting zoo and a pancake house.

Some of the country's top monuments and museums are just a 15-minute train ride away from Amsterdam. For centuries, Haarlem has been a centre of art and culture. The railway station is actually your first stop; it’s the country's only station built in the Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) style. Pick up a walking guide to Haarlem’s monuments at the Tourist Information Centre A (Grote Markt 2, a five-minute walk south of the station) and start your tour through this historic city. Don’t miss the Teylers Museum  (www.teylersmuseum.nl), (free entrance with your I amsterdam City Card), the country’s oldest museum, which feels like leafing through an antique encyclopaedia. A must-see for anyone interested in the Dutch Masters is the Frans Hals Museum  (www.franshalsmuseum.nl), (free entrance with your I amsterdam City Card), which focuses on the 17th-century Haarlem School and boasts the world’s largest collection of paintings by the artist after which it is named. The Grote Markt square has plenty of cafés and restaurants for a short break and magnificent views of St Bavo’s Church . The 50-metre steeple of this UNESCO-protected monument still dominates Haarlem’s skyline and the church itself contains some beautiful Renaissance works of art.

Shopping & Dining 1/2 day Just 15 minutes from Amsterdam Central Station (trains every 10 mins), Haarlem is a shopper’s dream. Voted ‘Best shopping city in Holland’ more than once, it offers quirky boutiques, fashion-forward concept stores and delicious delis. Don’t miss ID (a small concept store), Jansje (sustainable gifts) and Kloffie (voted most innovative retailer in Holland) in the ‘golden streets’ around the Grote Markt square . Stop for lunch at Hofje zonder Zorgen, a local favourite with a beautiful view over a small courtyard garden. Many more cafés and restaurants are situated around the Grote Markt, such as Grand Café Brinkmann. No trip to Haarlem is complete without a visit to former church-turned-brewery Jopenkerk , which brews and serves the best ‘real Haarlem’ beers on site. And don’t worry about the time: trains back to Amsterdam run till 1 am. If you decide to stay, the city offers plenty of affordable hotels. www.haarlemmarketing.co.uk

Haarlem pays its own tribute to Holland’s iconic bloom. During the Keukenhof’s (spring garden) open season, the special Tulpomania package offers a superb four-in-one experience: the Keukenhof’s floral splendour, a Tulpomania walking tour, a flower exhibition – with both paintings and real flowers – at the Frans Hals Museum, and a Tulpomania beer tasting at the Jopenkerk brewery. The package is available online. www.tulpomania.com

If you take the train to Haarlem, you’re in for a treat from the moment you arrive. The only Dutch railway station in the Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) style, Haarlem Station was constructed in 1906 and is characterised by its many tiled panels, decorative ironwork and striking wooden signal house. It’s a fitting introduction to a city that is teeming with exceptionally rich history. There are 4,000 municipal and nationally listed monuments in Haarlem, many of them in the well-preserved historic city centre and within easy walking distance of one another. The Amsterdamse Poort, located at the end of the old route from Amsterdam to Haarlem, dates from 1355 and is the last remaining of 12 original city gates that formed the main city defences.

Holy History

Haarlemʻs Secret Gardens

Behind the heavy monumental doors of the oldest museum in Holland, the perfectly preserved world of the 18th-century Enlightenment awaits. In period surroundings that exude the atmosphere of the time, visitors can rediscover the ‘newest’ scientific experiments of the Enlightenment, ‘recently’ excavated fossils and drawings and accounts of journeys of discovery. Wandering through the collection – which is displayed in authentic cases and lit only by daylight – is like leafing through an antique encyclopaedia, allowing each object to tell its own story. The free audio tour comes highly recommended. www.teylersmuseum.nl TIP: Free entrance with your I amsterdam City Card.

Museum Haarlem

The Dolhuys Museum celebrates the human mind. In this historical building, you will meet extraordinary characters: artists, writers and scientists, sometimes with a disability or mental illness. Be inspired by their interesting stories and the value of their otherness. The museum is situated in a unique medieval building. For years the building lay outside the city walls of Haarlem, sheltering the ‘mad’ and people with contagious diseases. Go back in time and visit original isolation chambers, dating from the 16th century. www.hetdolhuys.nl TIP: Free entrance with your I amsterdam City Card.

Theatre Stadsschouwburg Haarlem One of the five oldest theatres in the country, Stadsschouwburg Haarlem (Wilsonsplein 23, www.theater-haarlem.nl) is the city’s municipal theatre, which reopened following extensive renovations in 2008. Affectionately dubbed ‘bonbonnière’ – a small, ornate chocolate box – by locals, the Stadsschouwburg hosts a diverse programme of plays, dance, music and cabaret. Language-no-problem theatre is limited, but dance and music productions are accessible to all.

Dolhuys Museum of the Mind

Opposite the City Hall on the Grote Markt looms the Gothic Grote Kerk, or St Bavokerk, whose 50-metre steeple has dominated Haarlem’s skyline for centuries. Built between 1370 and 1520, the church is UNESCO-protected and contains some beautiful Renaissance artworks. Famous painters Frans Hals and Pieter Saenredam are buried here, and the renowned Müller organ – one of the finest in the world, standing 30 metres high with about 5,000 pipes – was once played by Mozart at the age of ten.

Past and present meet at Museum Haarlem, the museum where Haarlem’s history takes centre stage in an engaging permanent exhibition. In addition, new exhibits are organised twice per year – more comprehensive excursions into the city’s historical or artistic heritage – combined with lectures, guided tours, city tours and children’s workshops. Open seven days a week, Museum Haarlem is the ideal starting point to explore the city. If your thirst for knowledge is not quenched after learning the history of the famous Haarlem breweries at the museum, head to the popular Jopenkerk for a taste of authentic Haarlem beer. The tour guide knows the way!

Leafy courtyards enclosed by rows of quaint houses, Haarlem’s 21 ‘hofjes‘ can be hard to find behind their heavy doors and concealed entrances – but they’re well worth seeking out. These almshouses were often established by wealthy citizens as sheltered accommodation for elderly women in need (their male counterparts were housed in ‘old men’s homes’, such as the building that now houses the Frans Hals Museum). The oldest hofjes date back to the 12th century, and were built for Beguines, but most date from the 15th-18th centuries. The oldest and newest hofjes in Holland are situated next to each other in the city centre: the Hofje van Bakenes, established 1395, and the Johan Enschedéhofje, created in 2007. Most hofjes can be visited daily except Sundays, free of charge, between 10:00 and 17:00.

The diversity of Haarlem’s cultural venues is testament to the city’s history as a place of arts and culture. In recent years, four major cultural centres – Stadsschouwburg Haarlem, Philharmonie, Toneelschuur and Patronaat – have been renovated or rebuilt, bringing that rich history into the 21st century and acting as breeding grounds for top Dutch talent. Centrally located, the cavernous Patronaat (Zijlsingel 2, www.patronaat.nl) is Haarlem’s top music venue – and one of the best in Holland. The acoustics, enhanced by asymmetrical balconies in both the large (1,000 capacity) and small (300 capacity) hall are outstanding, and the programming diverse, running the gamut from folk and pop to psychedelia and reggae. On weekends, DJs take over after midnight. There’s also a bustling café (open Thursday-Saturday) with live bands and DJs that functions as a kind of third podium. Meanwhile, large enough to impress yet small enough to embrace, the magnificent 19th-century Philharmonie Haarlem (Lange Begijnestraat 11, www.theater-haarlem.nl) is the city’s finest concert hall and home to the perfectly preserved late Romantic Cavaillé-Coll organ. Major symphony orchestras and classical ensembles perform here.

In the heart of Haarlem, the Molen de Adriaan, originally built in 1778, is a smocked windmill that sits along the river on the foundations of the tower that once defended the city centre. When the tower burned down in 1932, a central focal point of the city was lost. It took 70 years for local citizens to raise enough money to rebuild the mill. The view of old Haarlem from the platform above the river is not to be missed. www.molenadriaan.nl

A must-see for anyone interested in the Dutch Masters, the Frans Hals Museum celebrates arguably Haarlem’s most famous native. Housed in the poorhouse where Hals spent his final years, the museum focuses on the 17th-century Haarlem School, and boasts the world’s largest collection of paintings by Frans Hals. The jewels in the crown are the eight group portraits of the Civic Guard that reveal Hals’ exceptional attention to mood. Also look out for paintings by contemporaries, including Hendrick Goltzius, Jacob van Ruisdael, Pieter Saenredam and Jan Steen. The Frans Hals Museum celebrates the spring (30 March 13 May 2018) in glorious style with a display of real flowers in special (tulip) vases. A small accompanying exhibition of prints shows how Golden Age painters were inspired by flowers and tulipmania.

A Mecca for the wee ones, this large toyshop has everything from Duplo to comic books and art supplies – and playing is actively encouraged. While children let rip, parents can enjoy organic, home-made goodies in the café.

Haarlemmerhout is the oldest green monument in Holland. Located on the south side of Haarlem, ‘The Wood’, as it is popularly called, has an area of 60 acres complete with deer park, petting zoo and pancake house, and is host to great summer music festivals. Located on the edge of Haarlemmerhout, Paviljoen Welgelegen has been the seat of the government of the province of North Holland since 1930. Built in the revolutionary year 1789, it became a retreat for Napoleon and Wilhelmina of Prussia, the mother of King William I. During office hours you can take a guided tour of the period rooms.

Events

Beer is definitely a religion for some, but former church-turnedbrewery Jopenkerk takes it to extremes. Brewing Jopen craft beers onsite according to old recipes and modern innovations, the former Jacobskerk has been beautifully restored – with vaulted ceilings and stained glass intact – and also houses a grand café and restaurant.

Toyshop & Café Meneer Paprika

The little pharmacy that could, this family-run shop has held firm since 1849 – refusing to budge even as the towering V&D department store sprung up around it. Walking through the door is like stepping back in time: historic pharmacy jars line the dark wooden shelves, brimming with everything from herbs and spices to liquorice. Pick up some ‘Haarlemmerolie’ (Haarlem Oil), a centuries-old remedy said to cure all ailments. Note the gaper (literally, ‘yawner’) above the door. These stone or wooden heads – often depicting a Moor – were used to indicate that a building is a pharmacy.

Coffee Brandmeester's Flanked by convivial cafés and restaurants – plus plenty of historic buildings – the Grote Markt, previously called ’t Sant, is the original centre of Haarlem and is considered by many the most beautiful urban square in the country. In the 13th and 14th centuries a gallows loomed over ’t Sant, jousting tournaments were held in the square and traders pedalled their wares. The City Hall (which also houses the Tourist Information Centre) stands on the spot of the hunting lodge of the Counts of Holland. The wooden building was almost entirely destroyed by a fire in the 14th century, but was rebuilt in florid style.

Grote Kerk or St. Bavokerk

Haarlem is home to a vast number of great churches, most of which are worth a visit. In addition to the imposing Grote Kerk, or St. Bavokerk, the late-15th-century Bakenesserkerk, located northeast of the Teylers Museum, has a distinctive white stone steeple that closely resembles that of the nearby St Bavokerk. During the construction of the steeple on the St Bavokerk, the material was found to be too heavy, causing the church to creak. The steeple was dismantled and replaced with a lighter version made of wood with lead cladding. The first newly built Protestant church in Haarlem, the Nieuwe Kerk (New Church), meanwhile, has a distinctive Renaissance-style steeple, built between 1613 and 1616 by the Flemish city architect Lieven de Key. The steeple was built onto the former Anna Chapel, which made way for the church in 1645. This resulted in a peculiar combination of two entirely different architectural styles.
