Wonderful Haarlem Christmas Market!


“Jopenkerk”, a former church, located right in the old city center of Haarlem, capital of the province of North Holland, which has been transformed into a cafe-restaurant and modern beer brewery, with it’s own beer, “Jopen”.


Come join Marion’s walking tour of Haarlem and top off the afternoon with a beer and “bitterballen” here, normally sold per portion, but here sold apiece; a unique and special experience! Contact Marion for more information about this tour!
Found at Babette’s Teahouse at Haarlem Christmas Market today!
