Quick Poll - Delft, Haarlem or Leiden?

Country forums / Western Europe / Netherlands

Just a quick one. Heading to Netherlands for a weekend. I have narrowed the options down to Delft, Haarlem and Leiden.

Please state your recommendation.

Thanks!

There's absolutely nothing wrong with Haarlem or Delft, but I say Leiden.

You can always hop over to Haarlem or Delft for half a day, in the unlikely event you get bored.
