Haarlem is the best shopping city in the Netherlands. The buildings are beautiful, the offer is unique and a nice terrace is never far away.
Although Haarlem is often called 'little Amsterdam', it is much more than that. Here you stumble over centuries-old museums, hidden courtyards, beautiful streets and squares, hip concept stores and dozens of cosy cafés and restaurants. Haarlem entrepreneurs are constantly on the move, supporting and strengthening each other. There is plenty of activity and development in the emerging Sportliedenbuurt area, with the converted Koepelgevangenis as the icing on the cake. And want to escape the city for a while? Then the dunes and beaches of Zandvoort and Bloemendaal are always nearby.
