🇳🇱Visiting Haarlem is a must when in Netherlands🇳🇱❤️

#magicalxmastrip Off to Hidden Haarlem! 😍 This charming city boasts a rich history that dates back to its establishment as a city in 1245, making it significantly older than the more famous Amsterdam. We ventured to Haarlem via train and it was such a smooth ride👍 Haarlem has preserved much of its historical architecture, allowing visitors to experience the beauty of its past while enjoying modern comforts. With a population of approximately 155,000 residents, the city has a vibrant community that takes pride in its heritage. The streets are lined with quaint cafes and shops, where locals and tourists alike gather to enjoy the warm atmosphere and indulge in a cup of freshly brewed coffee. Will be sharing one of the cafes we ate at—it was so good!! #xmastrip #xmas2024 #myhiddengems #summervacation #freehotelstay #familytrip #localguides #europe #historicallandmarks #mytravelhacks #passionpassport #awesomepic #urbanexplorer #amsterdam #foodie #asiatrip #mustdo #food #trip
