About the tour
During the tour you'll hear about the history of Haarlem, it's colourful heroes, lively trade and hidden gems. Of course you'll see some of Haarlem's highlights, but also hidden spots with funny stories and fun facts.
We'll walk along the canals, visit a few hofjes and the most characterful neighbourhood, while you hear about the people who built and shaped the city.

During the approximately 2‑hour tour, your senses of taste and smell will also be stimulated along the way. It will be anything but a standard history lesson.

Date: Saturday 27 June
Time: 10:30 – approx. 12:30

Costs
As it's a trial walk, the tour is free of charge. In return, you'll be asked to give your honest feedback and leave a review if you enjoyed the tour.

Sign‑up
The trial tour can't be booked online. Would you like to join? Send an e-mail to [email protected] and you'll receive more detailed information. Group size is limited, so it's first come, first served.

4th of May - Remembrance Day

Remembrance Day is a moment in The Netherlands to honor and remember those who lost their lives during World War II, as well as those who have fallen into subsequent conflicts and peacekeeping missions.

CUSTOMS AND TRADITIONS

Two minutes of silence

At 8 pm on May 4th the entire nation observes two minutes of silence.
During ths time, public transportation halts, and people pause whatever they are doing to reflect silently. It’s a moment of unity and respect.

Across the country, ceremonies are held at monuments, war memorials, and cemetries. Officials, veterans, and civilians lay wreaths as a symbol of remembrance and gratitude.

Dutch flags are flown at half-mast as a mark of respect for the fallen.

HAARLEM - May 4th

Having a coffee with Ania from at this cute coffee spot at Ramplaan 44 in Haarlem.

OSO opened 6 weeks ago and many people from the Ramplaankwartier and Overveen already found the way to this lovely place.

Coffee and pastries for now. In the near future the place will also offers lunch.

Tip: Looking for a space where you can sit with your laptop while having a coffee and some pastry? There is plenty of space in the back. :-)
