Heemskerk

This is almost impossible to answer for I loved all the places I visited, and I visited a lot of them during my stay. However, one that really sticks in my mind was a side trip to Harlem. This walkable, Capitoal City has one of the cutest history museums I have ever visited. Located near the city center, it is a multimedia event with film, slides, lighted dioramas, and even toy models showing the culture and wonderness history of the Netherlands and Harlem it self. A thirty minute train from Amsterdam to Harlem and a very short bus ride into the city is a must for all visitors to the Netherlands.If you have never been to an authentic brown resturants you will be in for a treat of not only plentiful of great food and choices, but the locals are as engaging and friendly when you join in their local customs. Just off the Liedstrat off the northern end of Liedsplien you will find a one of these resturants that have the best steaks, ribs and drinks. The bartenders are extremly funny, helpful and cordial to the tourists that accidently enter. You hang your coat on a wooden peg and if your lucky you will find a seat at the bar. Order a drink and ask whats good for dinner and they will talk you into a great steak dinner with a big baked potato, salad and bread. It's worth the USD $25.00 price (not including the drinks)!
