Discover Haarlem
Ijmuiden, for Amsterdam

by coach & on foot
Departing from IJmuiden, an approximately 30-minute drive will bring you to the historic city of Haarlem.
Together with your guide, learn about this beautiful city's rich history as you take an approximately one-hour walk past its windmills, canals and drawbridges.
Your walk concludes at the Jopenkerk. This former church, now a small brewery, serves as a unique setting to enjoy a sample of a delicious Dutch beer.
Following this, enjoy some free time to further explore Haarlem at leisure before rejoining your coach for the return drive to IJmuiden.
