It's hard not to be enthusiastic about Haarlen which has retained more of its 17th century layout than any other Randstad city. Just over fifteen minutes from Amsterdam by train, HAARLEM is a handsome, mid-sized city that sees itself as a cut above its neighbours. It makes a good alternative base for exploring North Holland, or even Amsterdam itself. The core of the city is Grote Markt and the adjoining Riviervischmarkt, flanked by the gabled, originally fourteenth-century Stadhuis and the impressive bulk of the Grote Kerk or Sint Bavokerk. Inside, the mighty Christian Müller organ of 1738 is said to have been played by Handel and Mozart.
