Haarlem, The Netherlands - Better than Amsterdam?

We traveled from our home in Amsterdam just a short distance west, to the city of Haarlem. Many people have told us how much BETTER Haarlem is than Amsterdam... Better vibe, traffic, way of life... or something... We know it's just an opinion, but we thought we should see what there is to see in Haarlem. We spent the day walking around the city center, visiting candy stores, eating amazing sandwiches, exploring the gorgeous St. Bavo Church and then touring through THE OLDEST MUSEUM in The Netherlands! How cool is that?! Big shoutout to het Dropje van Haarlem for the kind invite and warm welcome. Be sure to stop by for sweet treats and (very) salty drop (licorice) if you are in Haarlem!
