Known as the City of Flowers, it is a place of historical architecture, culture and outstanding modern facilities.

Only 20 km from the DFDS Seaways destination port of Amsterdam, Haarlem is a city and a province, at the heart of the Dutch flower-growing industry. A ferry cruise trip to Holland can easily accommodate a trip to this charming location.

The historic city centre with its broad range of period architecture is criss-crossed by scenic waterways. The fine old cathedral of St Bavo on the main square dominates the skyline.

Other attractions include world-class, traffic-free shopping facilities and a thriving cultural agenda.

Haarlem has been described as a pocket-sized, relaxed version of Amsterdam.
