    Backpack or suitcase. Camping sometimes is possible in summer at the farmerarea just outside Haarlem (for example at Liewegje). More info: touristoffice VVV, next to the trainstation.

    Autumn: warm clothes and a raincoat / umbrella. Also bring a sjwal! Winter: warm clothes, also gloves and sjwals! Spring: warm and light clothes, remember it also rains in springtime. Summer: light clothes! A sweater, pair of trousers and an umbrella just to make sure. Sometimes it gets a little colder.

    Temperatures & weatherconditions:
    autumn: fog, rain, strong wind 15-8 degrees Celcius (sept-nov.); winter: fog, snow, freezing, rain, wind 5-minus5 degrees and occasionaly minus 10 degrees Celcius (dec-feb); spring: rain, sometimes warm sun, light wind, rain, occasionally some snow in the beginning of springtime, 5-15 degrees Celcius (march-may); summer: warm, sunny, sometimes rain and a bit of wind , 15-25/30 degrees Celcius (june-august).

    All medicines you can find at the local stores like Booths, Kruidvat and Etos. They have headeachepills, stomachpills, creams, plasters etc. etc. For other medication: apothekers (as we call it)are more official medicationhouses, people can get their medicines here on doctors description, but some medicines are also sold without description when officialy possible.

    You can get everything for your camera here. Filmdevelopment and printing is also possible, even within an hour.

    Tent (waterproof), sleepingbag (if you go camping). Beach: towel, bottle of water (though beaches have good snack and drinkplaces too), suncream, sunglasses.

    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.

  • 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 !!!!

    Typically an umbrella, but I got lucky my second day, when all I needed was ample film as Haarlem is a picturesque town indeed.

  • 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).

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