Amsterdamse Poort, Haarlem
Historical landmark
👍👍 It was created in 1355 and is the only remaining city gate from the defenses of Haarlem. Until the 17th century it was the city gate used for traffic by land eastwards towards Spaarnwoude over the Laeghe weg (now Oude weg).

Rent a Bike Haarlem
Bicycle rental service
🫤 They refuse to hand you the bike unless they get to confiscate your ID or passport. This is illegal and you can contact the police about it. Two stars because the refund was quick. EDIT: In their response, they claim that they spoke to me about this for two days and that I became verbal. This is n...

Church
😐 Nieuwe Kerk is a 17th-century church at Nieuwe Kerksplein. This is one of the stops along the Visit Haarlem self-walk tour around the Haarlem. Unfortunately, the church was not open when we passed by so I'm not sure if it is regularly open for visitation or not. Regardless, the exterior and church...
