Car Hire in Haarlem Downtown - Mini guide to Haarlem Downtown

Haarem is a city that is located in the North Holland province of the Netherlands. There are so many things that you can do here that there is no possible way that you will be able to see and do it all in just one trip. To maximise your time here consider renting a car, this will allow you to see many of the fantastic sights Haarlem has to offer.

One place to see is the Archaeology Museum that has a lot of exhibits that relate to Haarlem's culture and history. This is the first museum that was built in the Netherlands that is totally dedicated to archaeology. It gives its visitors information about archaeological digs around the area. Plus, it gives more generalized exhibitions on archaeology techniques too, and one of the exhibits charts events that have happened over the last 4 millenniums and the items found at the excavation sites.

There is also a windmill that you will not want to miss. This is the De Adriaan Windmill, which is a very popular site in Haarlem. The windmill was constructed in 1778 on an old defensive tower foundation and is made of wood. In a 1932 fire, the windmill was almost completely destroyed. The residents, however, got together to rebuild it. Now, the mill is still in operation today, but only on Saturdays if the weather is good for it.

The one place that you absolutely have to go to is the Haarlem Historical Museum, because you will get to see a great overview of the town's history and the surrounding area. There is an audio-visual performance, which is very popular, where Laurens Jansz-Coster retells Haarlem's story. He highlights the siege of Haarlem that occurred in 1572, a few years after that when the there was a great fire, the almshouses construction, and the train journey from Amsterdam to Haarlem in 1839, which was the first.
