Add a commentWhen I was there, The House of Three Canals, The Jewish Quarter, Old Men's Gateway and we took a trip down the canals, just the houses along the canals were wonderful. The resistance museum, I think it was called the Verzets Museum, Rembrandt's museum, all the museums were fabulous and the food was outstanding. Only ate what the people in the area ate. We took a canal boat when we left the country, that was interesting.

Don't miss the Fran Hals Museum in Haarlem ... also when you're in Haarlem, ask at the VVV for a map of the begijnhofjes in Haarlem. Courtyard housing for the elderly .. they are remarkable to see, perfectly scaled, enchanting spaces, hundreds of years old.

Add a commentYes, Joe Luttrell, the questions do have the phony ring of coming from someone trying to promote Holland. But still, that said--
I loved our visit to an oddball museum that we discovered, the Tassenmuseum, or the Museum of Handbags and Purses, on Herengracht 573:Tassenmuseum.nl
Now trust me here -- it's four floors originally a private collection, dating from the Middle Ages to the bags of present day celebrities. Every bag has a story, in the materials, the design, the construction methods -- all of which reveals so much about the place and time of origins. Over 3000 bags, some very odd, some gorgeous, and a great gift shop. Exceeded my expectations, and would interest anyone interested in history, fashion, design, textiles, etc.
