The circuit for true speed freaks

Roaring engines, squealing brakes ... Experience the ultimate adrenaline rush and test your own car on the asphalt at Circuit Zandvoort. Would you rather admire the real drivers from the sidelines? There are regular events where shiny racing cars or historic vehicles render the circuit unsafe. For those who prefer to take on the sporting challenge slightly different, there are cycling and running events on the track too.

In Haarlem, you will find a cosy historic centre, famous museums, hip concept stores and star chef restaurants. Stroll through the historic hidden streets or enjoy a drink at one of the waterside terraces.

Get a breath of fresh air, build sandcastles for hours or relax with a book in the sun. After a nice day at Zandvoort beach, you can go for a snack and a drink at one of the many beach pavilions.
