 Umbrella by martin_nl The most important thing to pack when you come to the Ntherlands and Haarlem is an umbrella. Nothing is ever so fast changing as the weather here. Even in the summer it can rain every day! So be prepared. Leave a Comment

Since Haarlem has no camp sites, I suppose you will stay in hotels. Any luggagetype will do.
Holland is very green: It rains a lot, But it can be beautiful wheather as well. So be prepared !
There are no special measurements to be taken.
Do'nt forget your camera !!!! Leave a Comment

As the Dutch weather is not to be predicted, just make sure you have something for any weather type: shorts, t-shirts but also jeans, a warm sweater & a jacket. An umbrella isn't a luxury, but you can get them cheap at the shops. Bring your swimsuit! You never know if you can take a dip in the North Sea...Bring some smart shoes, at some nightclubs in Holland sneakers are a definate no-no.
If travelling light, don't worry-you can get about anything you need in Holland.
If you're planning to go camping-go to Bloemendaal aan Zee (beach place next to Zandvoort. They've got different campingsites there, for instance 'de Lakens' (the sheets). Leave a Comment

Take at least a pair of pants in the summer. The nights were very cool and overcast days didn't get very warm either. Leave a Comment
