Haarlem, Netherlands: Herring and Heritage philipje1: 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!

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.

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

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

Haarlem is such a fantastic city in the Netherlands, it's so calm and peaceful and there are less tourist then in Amsterdam. I also recently created a video about Haarlem!
