What makes Haarlem special?

Haarlem is an idyllic city where you will find the best of Dutch culture, including an annual Bulbflower Parade. This event held on the last week of April celebrates Haarlem's long-standing identity as the flower capital of the Netherlands. Known by Dutch locals as Bloemenkorso, the procession features tulips, daffodils and hyacinths and culminates in a spectacular festival in the main city square. Haarlem has also long been known for its association with printing and writing, with numerous famous writers having lived here. Almost as early as the invention of the printing press, printing was the city's main industry, and this tradition is still very much a part of modern Haarlem culture.

Well-loved by locals and travellers alike, Haarlem is full of exciting things to do if you have free time.

Many of the city's most important buildings are situated here, including the stately City Hall.

The 15th-century paintings are almost photo-realistic, allowing visitors to rewind time and see the city as it was centuries ago.
