On Sunday April 18 2027 the Flower Floats are on show in Haarlem. The day before they came in a parade to Haarlem, the center of Tulpomania. Take hundreds of pictures and oh my! Those smells!!! Admire the floats upclose and we'll also do a city walk (I'm an art historian). I'll show you around in city center and you can choose a guided tour in the Frans Hals Museum, Teylers Museum (the oldest museum in the Netherlands) or the St. Bavo Cathedral (when open). Full day tour, starting at Amsterdam Central Station, first class train tickets included plus one museum ticket.
This tour is on April 18 2027 only, starting at Amsterdam Central Station, 10 am. We'll have the first direct train to Haarlem (first class return tickets included), and go straight to the Flower Floats before it gets too crowded. Afterwards, there's always time for a break, we will do a city walk (with hidden gems) and you can choose a guided tour (ticket included) in the Frans Hals Museum (I'm an art historian), Teylers Museum (the oldest museum in the Netherlands) or the St. Bavo Cathedral (when open).
