About this tour
Haarlem still drinks in brown cafés that behave like a neighbourhood living room. The crawl starts on the Grote Markt, then In den Uiver in a former fish shop on the Riviervismarkt, and De Blauwe Druif on Lange Veerstraat, open since 1863. Self-guided in the StepQuests app: GPS between stops, stories you read on your phone.
