 Day of art and architecture |
Gemeente Haarlem Haarlem 2003 PB +31 (0)23 511 3000 http://www.haarlem.nl/ info@haarlem.nl |
Just a 15-minute train ride from Amsterdam, attractive Haarlem is a wonderful place to spend a day exploring. Start your visit at the Gothic and Renaissance-inspired Grote Markt (a 10-minute walk from the train station) located in the heart of the city. Nearby, also discover Sint Bavokerk. This massive Gothic church dwarfs the surrounding houses and shops and is therefore Haarlem's ultimate visual landmark. Afterwards head over to the city's chief attraction, the Frans Hal Museum located in the same house where the artist is believed to have spent his last and most successful years. An outstanding Flemish portraitist, he was thought to be even more talented than Rembrandt. If you get hungry, return to the Grote Markt for a selection of the city's best restaurants.

Feel Like a Windmill Keeper |
Akersluis 10 Amsterdam 1066 EZ +31 20 669 0412 http://www.molenvansloten.nl info@molenvansloten.nl |
Molen van Sloten (The Sloten Windmill) dates from 1947 and pumps the water from the wetlands of Amsterdam-West into the canals. This is done with a very big windmill wheel. At the top of the mill you can watch a sequence about Rembrandt's life and the inspiration for his paintings. Rembrandt was the son of a windmill keeper, and you can see a wax statue of his mother here. If you climb the steep wooden stairs, you'll see the wheel running, hear the wind and feel like a mill keeper for a moment. Check website for details. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Smallest Netherlands Island |
Postbus 90 Muiden 1398 ZH +31 294 262 326 http://www.pampus.nl pampus@pampus.nl |
The island of Pampus was built at the end of 19th Century as part of the line of defence around the city borders - de Stelling van Amsterdam. Soldiers had a harsh time on the island, as the humidity level was high and the average temperature about ten degrees Celsius. The fort on the island never took part in any kind of warfare. The Stelling van Amsterdam became outdated with the development of new military weapons like fighter planes. Pampus hasn't served as fortification since 1933. To visit to Pampus you'll have to go to the castle Muiderslot in Muiden and take the ferry to Pampus. Review © 2007, Wcities |
