Drift past the striking waterfront exterior of the Teylers Museum. Renowned as the oldest public museum in the Netherlands, dating back to 1784, its neoclassical architecture looks spectacular from the canal viewpoint.
Admire De Waag, a historic landmark showcasing beautiful Dutch Renaissance architecture. Dating back to the late 16th century, this building once served as the bustling trading and weighing center for merchants arriving in Haarlem by boat.

About Haarlem
Haarlem is a compact historic city west of Amsterdam, with a Gothic church on its market square, Frans Hals paintings and almshouse courtyards.
Haarlem is the capital of North Holland, a canal-lined city of gabled houses on the River Spaarne, a short train ride west of Amsterdam. The Grote Markt is its large market square, framed by the Gothic church of St Bavo, whose great organ was played by the young Mozart in 1766, and by the stately town hall. The painter Frans Hals lived and worked here, and the Frans Hals Museum displays his group portraits.
