Beyond Amsterdam 🇳🇱 Leiden & Haarlem | Two Dutch Cities You Shouldn't Skip

I left Amsterdam behind and spent the day exploring two beautiful Dutch cities: Leiden and Haarlem 🇳🇱 First came Leiden, with historic city gates, windmills, Rembrandt's birthplace, one of the oldest botanical gardens in the Netherlands, medieval streets, and panoramic views from Burcht van Leiden. Then I took the train to Haarlem, where I discovered hidden hofjes, the beautiful Grote Markt, St. Bavo Church, an organ once played by Mozart, a brewery inside a former church, Molen de Adriaan and the gorgeous Spaarne River. And honestly… this was exactly the kind of day I love when I travel: less rushing, more wandering, and plenty of unexpected little discoveries. 📍 In this video: Leiden • Morschpoort • Molen De Put • Rembrandt's birthplace • Hortus Botanicus • Pieterskerk & Pieterskwartier • Burcht van Leiden • De Waag Haarlem • Hello I'm Local • Hofje van Bakenes • Grote Markt • St. Bavo Church • Jopenkerk • Molen de Adriaan • Spaarne River • De Koepel • Amsterdamse Poort This trip continues my Belgium–Netherlands journey, and next I'm heading to Zaanse Schans. 🇳🇱 If you're planning a Netherlands trip beyond Amsterdam, save this video for later!
