It's Saturday morning in the Dutch city of Haarlem, Netherlands and the open market is in full bloom. It's one of the larger and more lively market squares in all of Holland. Market day in a European city is generally a lot of fun. You get a chance to mingle around with the locals then have a look at the produce, and the cheese and the fruits and different clothing items for sale, participating like a resident - and maybe you'll find something good to eat.
It's no surprise this big event is at the central market square right in the middle of town next to the big church.
When traveling it's not always easy to strike up conversations with the locals but on market day everybody is ready to talk, so by all means have some chats with the vendors.
If you don't find anything to eat at the market there are a number of cafés all around the market. There's a beautiful corner bar here - people kicking back watching the parade of people going by, having a drink or having a meal. It's a perfect spot for a break before plunging back into the market.
The buildings all around the market square are beautiful and historic. Most of them date back to the 1600s. You've got the old meat market, you've got the weighing house, the City Hall, and the big church, the Grote Kerk, there is an archaeology museum and some former residences of the nobles.
Well you can see how much fun this market is but you've got to be here on a Saturday to catch all of this action. So if you can possibly arrange your schedule, if you're staying in Amsterdam and you're around on a weekend, by all means come on over to Haarlem and have a walk around the market and then see the rest of town.
We have more movies about Haarlem so be sure to have a look at our UA-cam channel and subscribe so you can be notified about all of our recent uploads. We've also got a series of films about the Netherlands covering many of the highlights of this beautiful country, stay tuned.

I visited Haarlem in 2018 and I must say, this city is very beautiful. The local flower parade was awesome. Regards from Czech rep.
The nicest thing of the Netherlands is that most of us are multi lingual, we do everything to make you feel comfortable and helping where we can. If you are also into "cheese" than visit Gouda, where the famous Gouda cheeses come from. The northside of the Netherlands ( Friesland, Groningen) is also worth to visit, especially for the lakes and sailing. 🇳🇱🤗

De Vechtstreek is ook wel mooi. De Wadden. Zeeland.....
Life never seems to happen in neighborhoods with architecture from mid 20th century to today’s 21st century. All these travel vlogs show the beauty of cities prior to that time. Nice tour of Haarlem, thank you!
Harlem in NY is named after the city of Haarlem, Brooklyn deriving from the Dutch town called Breukelen and all that from a time long gone when New York was still called New Amsterdam.
A very good info..i didnt know about this..and yes i only knows that before the name of new york exist its previous names was new amsterdam..and its just change to new york by the british,isnt it??
Staten Island named after the Staten Generaal, Coney Island = Konijneiland, Wall Street = Waalstraat.
Funny you should mention that. My ancestors founded Breuklelen, and Flatbush in New Amsterdam. My mother's maiden name is Swarthout. They were one of the first families here, after the native Americans.
Reading this group chat about who named where is simply amazing.. The facts remains please dont forget it these lands already had names lol ..The Dutch and the Portuguese was the most Brutal in those times.. Gowanus was the Original name of Brooklyn before All settlers.. Know History and Not His-Story..
@@clintcadogan 😂 that was how they brainwashed us
Dennis Callan, you are one of a kind! Love your down-home presentations of Europe. Bravo! 👏 Gratitude!
Thank you so much!
Traveled to Haarlem a few times on our visits to the Netherlands , we tented to do a week in the Netherlands so we get around a bit we buy a rail,tram bus travel card , to get around
Amsterdam is great but in the day get out and about and visit places and get the real feel of the Netherlands
I love the bicycles they are beautiful.
Harlem, great place, campsite only 1m from town centre, good nightlife, 15mins from Amsterdam on train,great bike shop, very nice people, don’t forget ur brolly, the bigger the better, it rains constantly
Your hesitance on the rawmilk cheese made me smile. And yes: warm bread, fresh fruit, and fried fish 😋 Thank you for this nice video on us!
Netherland is beautiful.nice vlogging.
Was here before so much to see and buy at these markets so lively try to visit holland as often as I can have relatives living there
It's really amazing to be in Holland, I really enjoyed it
Just watched the video. I live in Haarlem and it's great fun to see all the thingsI already know through foreigners eyes but take for granted most of the time.
Am excited am relocating to Netherlands my husband is from there can’t wait to explore this places!
The City of Haarlem is in Noord-Holland, so you can say you are in "HOLLAND".
The Dutch are a wonderful people.If you leave Amsterdam.
@Reg Johnson Your distorted view of a leftist is the only problem here
@Reg Johnson You've never been? They're assholes very openly, but as they put it they are very blunt. I found that if you are blunt you just say something quickly and not go into detail of why you would not do it.
@Reg Johnson as an amsterdammer living here for 65 years i never had any issue with leftists, i just throw them immediately in one of our beautiful canals
@Reg Johnson anti-SJW cult ..
I see
I'm Dutch, no one likes Amsterdam other than tourists and people actually from Amsterdam.
I live there :) I wasn't born in Haarlem, but I consider it home and never want to leave again. It is one of the oldest cities, but not as big or crowded as Amsterdam for example. It has great museums and architecture. And the trainstation is the oldest one in the Netherlands. I don't consider the market anything special though, there are better markets across the country, most famous is the Albert Cuyp market in Amsterdam, however that is much more tourism-based than this one. Another great thing about Haarlem is that it is famous for the huge veriety of restaurants and cafes. Visiting Haarlem during the day should result in having a great meal in one of the many restaurants in the small streets in the centre. And if the weather is good, perhaps have a nice, cold beer at one of the bars around the market place in the evening.
matt D. How will the weather be in end of September. As we are plans to visit in September and how about the other market you mentioned is it close to the city and easily accessible by bus or train ? Tx
The oldest trainstation of The Netherlands is in Valkenburg, not in Haarlem.
@@LimoRay are you referring to a mine? Because the first stretch of railroad was between Amsterdam and Haarlem..1832 I think I remembered from history classes
You also need to visite the market on saterday in Spakenburg, there are stil people in traditionele kloding.
You mean " traditional cloths" 🇳🇱
Hahaha. Kloding
@@LindaEll89 And what you mean is either "clothes' or "clothing". Als je iets doet, doe het dan goed. :p
Thank you so much for the tour. It's beautiful and interesting. How I wish I was there physically.
this video makes me feel very sad and happy at the same time. I was in germany two years ago and i wanted to go to amsterdam but i could not beacuse the time. I hope one day have the chance to travel to Europ again and visit holland.
Holtlant
very beaytiful place indeed. awsome bicycles, no pollution ,nice photography, love from india
amazing country, watching this from cancun mexico
this is one of my favourite youtube video. i will go amsterdam again.
Very nice video. Simple and informative. You did a great job capturing the essence of the market and the people. Looks like a market for the local people, not a tourist attraction filled with overpriced knock offs. We will be staying in Haarlem soon and look forward to sampling the delights of the market.
No pollution no bikes cars here only bicycles veri good and veri beautiful..
Absolutly enjoyed your video!! What a beautiful way to LIVE!!!
Muy buen video, todo el mercado muy bonito y original, siempre espero los videos hace tiempo estoy suscrita, gracias por compartir.
This is the wonderful markets of Neitherlands.
Its a beautiful market..owsm plac..impress by ur video..keep going n keep filming ..gd luck..
Decennia terug had je in Breukelen BRKLN een kaasmarkt op de 'Kaasmarkt'. Daar kwamen zelfkazende boeren uit het weidegebied ten westen van het Amsterdam Rijnkanaal. Ik heb ze een paar keer gezien met tractoren met wagen en een enkele met paard en wagen. En ineens was het afgelopen. In de Brugstraat had je nog een kaaspakhuis waar je de kazen kon zien liggen. Er was ook nog een kaaswinkeltje waar ik kaas haalde. Het rook goed in het winkeltje. Groeten uit Oosteuropa.
google translate: Decades ago you had a cheese market in Breukelen BRKLN on the 'Kaasmarkt'. Self-cheese farmers came there from the meadow area west of the Amsterdam-Rhine Canal. I've seen them a few times with tractors with wagon and a few with horse and wagon. And suddenly it was over. In the Brugstraat you still had a cheese warehouse where you could see the cheeses. There was also a cheese shop where I bought cheese. It smelled good in the shop. Greetings from Eastern Europe.
Nice vid! We've lived in Haarlem the last thirty years or so and our kids are genuine 'muggen' or mosquitos, as the Haarlemmers tend to call themselves ( the origin of the nickname is not known for sure). It's a great place to live and work but real estate prices are skyrocketing which is tough for new buyers.
we are called 'muggen' or 'mosquitos' because the region of Haarlemmermeer consisted of a lot of water, which attracted mosquitos
Visiting Holland this Sep, thanks for this nice video
Dennis, thanks much for this interesting video!
I love your humor here and there!
Keep up the good work!

This is a beautiful country indeed.

Beautiful market,

Very inspiring lifestyle ....we here in India fedup of motorcycles...polluted the atmosphere...
Hello 👋 nice video Like Haarlem 👍
Good video. Very good narration. I have enjoyed watching it.
Very good video.Inspiring life style.
When visiting the Netherlands Haarlem is a must visit easy to get too by train
Thank-you for such lovely informative vedio
Nice video.Looks like a nice market to visit ;-)
Amazing video! very nice !
Thank u for showing us the market place. Impossible to see those places. Thank u for showing.
beautiful...
Like your tour video's. Love to see one about Leiden (Netherlands), a historic university town with lots of musea and its great historic center.
Glad you love 'em. I do have great footage of Leiden, which I will be editing in early 2018.
Marianne van der Woerd thx,, ,pwwriokllkm.
Even though some of the shots are a little "off" (which can easily happen when you work alone, which I think you do), I like this style of video's ten, no I think a hundred times more than selfie-style travel video's that only feature the person talking on camera instead of voice-overing stuff with accompanying footage about what the voice-over is talking about. Great video. A lot of cities and villages have a weekly outdoor market. My city has one in basically every neighbourhood and I think Haarlem has that as well.
Hi DutchMaster, thanks very much for that and I wholeheartedly agree. Yes, I work alone, on the run, so sometimes the shot is not perfect, but my game is grabbing as much as possible in the time I've got. I also dislike that ridiculous me-me-me-me selfie handheld iPhone crap that clutters the world, or the endless visuals without any comment. It takes me along time to edit the show, but I generally create a new 15-minute show for upload every Friday. Narrating, coming up with something worth saying, is often the hardest part. It's a good thing I had some training, writing 55 long travel articles for my local newspaper and a guidebook about Rome, putting my English degree to work.
wow so awesome
2:02 "they're not that cold anymore"
Due to climate change
Dutchland is awesome :)
Yes very good. l hope to go there soon. 😊
Wish to visit Netherlands before dying.
Oh please.. now I'm hungry.. I grew up in a dutch family.. it's cheese, and baked goods with lots of sugar and butter! And , of course, aardappeltjes. Lots, and lots, of potatos. And, of course, the dutch cheese shops are wild...
Bicycles are so popular in holland because the country is flat as a dutch pannakoek. No hills. Just a wind that always blows against you no matter what direction you are headed!.
Great video!
+ John Smith.. It snows, and rains, and gets cold all over the world.. But it's not flat as a pancake all over the rest of the world. And, you know, you can dress accordingly to deal with the weather. If you could deal with hills by wearing the appropriate garments, without needing a Superman cape, I'd love to know, living as I do now in a terribly mountainous area... ;-)
Thanks for replying...
You obviously have not been to Limburg! The south of the Netherlands
Well come to India... Very good Ayurvedic food available....
Great video. Something about your voice reminds me of norm macdonald, the inflections or pacing. Anyone else?
dave tripp Yes. For me it seemed a cross between Norm Macdonald and Rick Steves.
I was born in that beautiful city (1961)
PS. Zuidpolderstraat
south farm street? :)
Me2 ik woon aan het Spaarne
@@julian-fz4lz Erg mooi..Ik ging wel eens met mij ouders naar het Teylers museum, als klein koter was dat altijd erg interessant
Rudolf de Lang ja erg mooi gebouw
I think the bikes are brilliant
That's how we roll ! In the morning most mothers bring the kids (from 4 to 8 years old) to school by bike with a front and rear seat, and on the way home picking up the daily fresh groceries from a supermarket or an outdoor market like this. It saves a lot of time doing it like that because no time is wasted while looking at the bumper of the car in front of you and/or for a place to park the car.
But the girl at 6:12 is waaay to big for the front seat hahaha!
me too - i hate cars , esp when you are stoned .
poor residents have to deal with hordes of tourists in thier way.
@@Research0digo Better than cars still, and most of the tourists here can be very nice
Thank you Sir I am very happy to see your video, especially this place is my favorite
Very beautiful video I've ever seen thank you so much
I love Haarlem
Great video, i really like your commentary over the footage. I am really suggesting (urging, almost!) you to visit Groningen some day, the pearl of the northern part of the Netherlands.
Loved Groningen, so green and fresh!
Also Friesland 🇳🇱
Non-pasteurized cheese normally won't hurt you, dairy farmers know not to put the milk from a section of the udder if it has mastitis. :) Healthy cow's milk rarely harbors bacteria.
Veri beautiful fresh breads..
I love flowers 💐
Love this video and is in ENGLISH great.
thankyou.very.much
I love the Netherlands accent. I usually only hear it from dutch kickboxers lol.
Very very nice video, thank you very much !
Haarlem para todo el mundo hoy, mañana y siempre. Nederlandse honderd procent 🇳🇱
4:45 he says it seems everybody has a bicycle. Dutch data say more bikes than people. One to transport the kids to school, one to ride in town, one cross country, one race, one folding to complement either end of a public transportation leg, an old cheap one to get to the train station on the home end and 2nd old cheap one to get from the other end station to the office. As bikes without auxiliary motor have no speed limit, you also want one with an aerodynamic hull to get you around pedaling at 40 mph.
Interesting video. Full of life. Your commentry informs a lot about ....
You missed the whole eastern side of the Netherlands! ;)
I want to live next to such market
Robert Mic #metoo
Come to London and it'll blow your mind.
I live next to this market, a 5 minute bike drive ;)
Mats Playz me2
Bicycle --- :) last time i drove some 2 decades back ----- :) but very nice vegetables ----- Fresh --- and Cheese --- :)
So nice I want to live their
Beautiful
Tuve la dicha de conocer esa ciudad .
dutch bikes have multiple speeds, but the gears are in the hub of the wheel and the wiring hidden in the tubes. They LOOK simple, but they aren't.
Possibly. But the vast majority do NOT have multiple gears. I rode them.
sm vanwers and you speak from personal experience? Having lived there, the only bikes without gears are the hire bicycles and the OV-fiets, the rest all are geared ranging from 3 to 8 internal or the sportier bikes up to 18. Please, stop spouting nonsens...
@@smvanwers6300 I am Dutch and live in Haarlem. I assure you Smallpatato1965 is right. 90% of the dutch bikes have gears.
@@LimoRay jullie lopen allemaal onzin uit te kramen,gears??nou denk eerder E-bike,dus hou op over gears,batterijen ja !!hele dikke grote baterijen,en bannanen ,hahahaha
"The odor of fresh baked bread"? Odor has a negative connotation. How about calling it 'aroma'?
a much nicer word, thanks
Your mom has a nice aroma

Netherlands is not Holland but Holland is Netherlands. Is this correct. I'm always confused😕
you are right...according to Wikipedia:
Holland is a region and former province on the western coast of the Netherlands. The name Holland is also frequently used informally to refer to the whole of the country of the Netherlands. This usage is commonly accepted in other countries,[2] and sometimes employed by the Dutch themselves.[2] However, some in the Netherlands, particularly in other regions of the country than Holland, may find it undesirable[2] or misrepresentative.
From the 10th to the 16th century, Holland proper was a unified political region within the Holy Roman Empire as a county ruled by the Counts of Holland. By the 17th century, the province of Holland had risen to become a maritime and economic power, dominating the other provinces of the newly independent Dutch Republic.
The area of the former County of Holland roughly coincides with the two current Dutch provinces of North Holland and South Holland in which it was divided, which together include the Netherlands' three largest cities: the de jure capital city of Amsterdam; Rotterdam, home of Europe's largest port; and the seat of government of The Hague.
Yes, it pisses me off when people ask me where are you from and they expect Holland! But even though I come from Haarlem in North Holland I still say the Nederlands or Nederland!
Holland is Friesland, they have their own language Fries. Also where the famous Friesian Horse breed originally comes from.
Hi brother and sister... Well come to India
@@LindaEll89 no, Holland is NOT Friesland, what are you talking about???
wooooo veri nice place
Wow
very nice .i like to go .the church also very nice
I love Haarlem ❤ because I lived and insha alaah
I will visit soon
I hou van Haarlem ❤
It’s always so nice to see your clip here, thank you . Do you go to Schagen sometimes? What’s special in that town?
thank you. Have not been to Shagen -- yet
@@denniscallan not yet ..😁 I am planning to stay few months in Europe this summer though.
9:30 emancipation. 😂😎💪
0:36 Hey! Kids with phones almost get run over in the Netherlands too.
All the tires on the bikes look flat.......do they blow up tires in the red light districts
Very nice video.
Very nice. Gefeliciteerd. Nederlandse honderd procent 🇳🇱
Love your video....yeahhhhh
Nancy Montenegro can we be friends
You gonna smell my dutch haze in Haarlem when you walk by
Very nice video
Taste our bread! You won’t regret it. It’s soft, flavorful & bouncy. Put a layer of ‘Echte boter’ on it and get a taste of heaven :)
I want crusty fresh bread not soft and bouncy!
I suppose this market is closed on Sunday, right?
Markets are held on the Grote Markt square on Mondays and Saturdays, from 09h00 to 16h00.
Nice
yes visit
Iam feels very happy,
Haarlem is not the biggest market in The Netherlands.
Vegetables and fruit on the market are no different than the one in the supermarkets, they are cheaper.
Markets are efficient shopping, because everything is in one place. Especially fish and flowers are there in a bigger variety than in the supermarkets. A lot of cities run a special market for flowers and fish on the same day. And I love that because can’t stand the smell of fish.
Hi Jannette, thanks for the information. As I said "It's one of the larger and more lively market squares in all of the Netherlands."
Very nice thanks
