Can you believe that as a Dutch guy I had never been to Haarlem until I was 35! And I worked in that street in your opening scene for my first freelance contract. Since then I fell in love with Haarlem. Such a great city
I was born in Haarlem at the tail end of WW 2. Lived above my father's bakery. Then moved to Amsterdam. Moved to Can a at 6 years page. Came back in '67 and saw my Oma and Opoe before they both passed away. Saw as much of family and country in 3 weeks as we could. Just loved our visit. Much too short.
You are very interesting and delightful to watch. I actually found this channel trying to show my wife Nederlands Haring and stayed for the content. Cheers
Very nice video! I'd strongly recommend to check out the "hofjes" of Haarlem; about 20 small courtyards, surrounded with houses for the widowed women. A closed-off, safe community if you will. Each "hofje" has its own style! Truely amazing. You can see them in many Dutch cities (including in Amsterdam), but Haarlem is well-known for them!
contrary to other touristic foods like haggis, wich is only eaten by tourists, we really love our herring. If you get it from the right merchant it is one of the outright tastiest things in the world. It is delicious! The one in this video looks good and fresh
I was also borned in Haarlem. Do you know that Harlem in New York IS was named from the Dutch town Haarlem. Like Brooklyn was named to the Dutch town Breukelen. New York was former New Amsterdam. And pleaded by the Dutch explorer Peter Stuyvesant
I’ve been to Haarlem and I’m disappointed that this doesn’t mention that Beethoven used to play that organ. I learned this from the missionaries that keep up the Corrie ten Boom house, right around the corner.
Just went to Amsterdam twice in Jan/Feb while backpacking through Europe, meant to do Haarlem and The Hague but schedule didn't permit it, seems this may be a good thing tho..I need to come back in the summertime for herring!
Ehm, being a citizen of Haarlem, I can tell you that the Haringstand you filmed is in Amsterdam on the Herengracht and not in my beautifull Haarlem. Did you know that the pipe organ in the Church was played by W.A. Mozart himself?
The church also has the shortest text on a grave, ever. "Ik" (meaning "I"). Can you get more renaissance than that? I still wonder who "ik" was. I would also recommend the new version of the St Bavo church, now 120 years old. Very impressive church as well. It lies 15 minutes walk southwest of the city center.

It was Mozart. (plus Mendelsohn and Händel)
@@PhilippoDanyep, the first one was Händel, 2 years after the organ was built.
Because of the marinate process the herring is not raw anymore, this process prevent decay

The church also has the shortest text on a grave, ever. "Ik" (meaning "I"). Can you get more renaissance than that? I still wonder who "ik" was.
