Heemstede is a municipality in Netherlands known as a commuter town for nearby Haarlem and Amsterdam. It began as a village near Castle Heemstede and remained sparsely populated for around 500 years.

Today, it remains an upscale residential community of professionals that commute to Amsterdam for work. It has developed its own charm with shops and restaurants dotted across its forested scenery. Visitors come here to bike through the countryside and enjoy a peaceful rest after a day of exploring the attractions nearby.
