Things to do in Haarlem, North Holland Province: The Best Nightlife
Though often overshadowed (especially for tourists) by its much larger and more famous neighbor Amsterdam about ten miles east, Haarlem’s history actually goes back further. And with about 150,000 people, it’s the capital of the Noord-Holland region. The Teylers Museum, with its unique collection of art and artifacts, is the oldest museum in the Netherlands. The fantastic Frans Hals Museum has many works by the artist and other Haarlem schoolers. Grote Markt, the main town square, is a must-see.

I think this is one of the best coffeeshops in Holland let alone Haarlem...such a calm cool vibration about the place and it also has quality weed at fair prices. It seems to cater for all ages even middle aged like myself...... The lady but tender is also closer to my age so i dont feel quite so old...lol There is even a little bean bag area if you really want to get down and get stoned.....It is always my first port of call whenever i visit Haarlem...young or old this coffeeshop is well worth a visit

We visited here and had such a lovely time. Simba really made the experience for us; he was so playful and was very good company. The staff here are welcoming and friendly and there is a great range of food and drinks (with a menu available in English). We had the espresso surprise and lemon poppy seed cake, both delicious. The cafe is amazingly clean; I have been to many cat cafes and there is always a distinct odour of cat food/litter boxes/animals, but here, if you were blindfolded, you wouldn't know it was a cat cafe! Highly recommended!

Café Briljant is a safe haven for the beerlover carefully hidden in the historical "Vijfhoek" quarter of Haarlem. A place to settle donw and enjoy a nice craft brew (around 75 on bottle)or a nice dram of Single Malt Whisky (a selection of 40).Good music, but not too loud, always room for a good conversation, lots of activities such as live-music on Thursday, Strictly Vinyl on Sunday and regular tastings of whisky, craftbeer and beer brewing workshops! Besides that a wide selection of boardgames is available. If you are lucky you might even get to try one of the homebrews of the owner Rob Alphenaar. Tastings: Briljant specializes in craftbeer and whisky tastings, and even without reservation it is easy to serve you a nice tasting on any given time, out of our wide assortment.
