✨ "The Dutchier version of Amsterdam" — just 15 mins by train from the hustle! 🚌 Transport Bus 356 or train from Amsterdam (easy-peasy!). 📍 Highlights (J-Person Approved!) 1️⃣ Teylers Museum 🏛️ (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) €16 (Museumkaart valid) → Fossils, crystals, antique lab gear + tiny Dutch kids on field trips! 2️⃣ St. Bavo Church ⛪️ (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) €4 entry → *10m-tall organ* + sunlit pews = insta-magic. Fun fact: Where Emperor Charles V was baptized! 3️⃣ Grote Markt 🌼 (⭐️⭐️⭐️) Daisy movie spot → cute but compact. 4️⃣ Windmill De Adriaan 🌬️ (⭐️⭐️⭐️) Skip if you’ve seen Kinderdijk — but open Thurs/Sun for interior visits! 5️⃣ De Koepel (Circular Prison) ⚖️ (⭐️⭐️⭐️) Now an artsy hub with cafés/offices → eerie-cool silence. 🌧️ Pro Tips Weather-dependent charm (grey skies? Still photogenic!). Quieter than Amsterdam — perfect for slow strolls. #Haarlem #NetherlandsTravel #HiddenGems #DutchCulture
