Lots of reasons to visit Edam. This beautifull place just outside Amsterdam has a great old centre with canals, bridges. A mini mini Amsterdam that should be in your agenda's when exploring places around Amsterdam. The Harmonie is a Dutch bar with white sand on the floor. This was used to keep the floor clean from sailors chewing tabacco and spitting on the floor. Als the sand was used to attract people by creating nice drawings in it. No spitting during my visit yesterday, its there just to keep the floor clean or to look bit authentic : . The Harmonie hosted the Walk about Music festival where singer songwriters perform in different locations in Edam. Walk in Edam, enjoy the city and the music of the performers. Had a view drinks in the Harmonie and was great atmosphere there. Will return sooon !!

De Harmonie is a pub and pension located near the center of old Edam, only 20 minutes out of Amsterdam. They host live music on Sundays, featuring folk and acoustic touring acts as well as local jam sessions. Situated on a cobblestone street across from a canal, De Harmonie is a delightful place to spend an afternoon or evening sipping a beer. They have 8 beers on tap, and feature the local seasonal beers when possible. The menu seems to be limited to what they have on hand... the sign on the street said Eat what the band eats , which turned out be a cheeseburger and frites. One of our group is a vegetarian, but they managed to find her a vegetable lasagna, so it never hurts to ask. People in Holland seem to be very accommodating as long as you ask politely. De Harmonie has four rooms upstairs for rent. In our room, all four beds were in the same room with one bathroom and a kitchenette. The prices are affordable, and breakfast the next morning was included. The only thing to be aware of is whether you are staying on a night when there is music... the jam session went until midnight, and we could hear it all the way upstairs!
