Haarlem is a small, peaceful city located 20 minutes from Amsterdam. We explored the city and saw all of the recommended sites. We walked over to the Amsterdamsa Poort which is an old city gate located at the end of the old route from Amsterdam to Haarlem and the only gate left from the original twelve city gates. We also were amazed at the size of The St Bavo Church. We took a tour of the Ten Boom Museum which provides some history of the family who lived there and helped protect Jews during World War II. We also enjoyed strolling along the city streets and canals. There are so many pretty houses and buildings.
