AUTHENTIC HAARLEM
REIN’S STUDIOS AND SHOPS
The historic city of Haarlem is located less than twenty
min­utes by train or car from Amsterdam. Discover and
experience the fantastic world of authentic, historic and
traditional Haarlem. The world-famous city of Haarlem
still has its unique character. It also still has all the craftsmanship, skill and esp­ecially the hospitality of the “past”.
This makes Haarlem one of the best-preserved city centres
in the Amsterdam Metropole region. Here is Rein’s select­
ion of the best studios and shops in the medieval heart of
Haarlem, where shopkeepers often still leave sweets or
liquorice on their counters for both young and old.
“CANDLELIGHT CANDLE STUDIO” at Kleine Houtstraat 6.
3
“VAN DER LINDEN SHOES” in de Kleine Houtstraat 8.
These original and often small-scale enterprises form ‘The Soul of
Haarlem’. They are still the driving force behind the economy of the city
centre. A city where you can spend days looking for everyday things, for
unique products, for those special items that you have been wanting for so
long, but especially because it is so much fun.
4
You can explore Haarlem on foot, by bicycle or – as a special treat – on
a Segway! SegTours gladly organises guided THOENenTHANS Segway
tours. For more information on this, please visitwww.segtours.nl or call
+316-54791816.

ROUTE TO THE ‘SOUL OF HAARLEM’
All businesses are numbered. My advice is to make your own
personal selection based on the type of enterprise (see ‘Authentic’ list). Then plot your own preferred route on the map.
Because of the small-scale nature of various businesses, this
journey of discovery is most appealing to smaller groups. Explore the city at your leisure. Look out for ‘THOENENTHANS.NL’
window stickers.
