One of the interesting historic buildings at Grote Markt is the Stadhuis (City Hall). Presently the Haarlem Tourist Office can be found at Stadhuis. Opening hours are 9.30am to 5.30pm on Monday to Saturday and 11am to 3pm on Sundays.

Historically, there have been buildings here since at least 1100. The present building dates back to the first half of the 14th-century and is medieval in form. Stadhuis also impressively features an early 17th-century facade and tower Dutch Renaissance and Classicist in style.

We enjoyed viewing the Stadhuis exterior during our visit to Grote Markt. We also found the Tourist Office within a useful place to pick up self-walk tour maps, brochures and general information about Haarlem. This was a worthwhile place to visit at the beginning of our day trip to Haarlem from Amsterdam.
