| General information | Haarlem is the capital city of the province of North Holland. The historical centre of the tulip-bulb growing district of Holland, the city is nicknamed “Bloemenstad”, the flower city. Haarlem dates back to the 10th century. By the 12th century, it was the residence of the Counts of Holland. Haarlem has been destroyed by fire several times in its history, each time being rebuilt by wealthy citizens.
Historically tulips, textiles and beer have been the staples of Haarlem’s economy, but the city has strong artistic links too with painters, architects and Laurens Janszoon Coster, who for many years was regarded as the inventor of the printing press, before Gutenberg was more widely acknowledged. Corrie ten Boom and Hannie Schaft are noted citizens of Haarlem in more recent history.
Koninginnedag, The Queen’s Birthday, is celebrated on 30 April with street markets, live music and great festivities.
With historical buildings, modern coffee shops, museums and close proximity to beaches, there is something for everyone to enjoy in Haarlem. See the links in the other useful links sections for more information. |
