Overview

During the Discovery Trip "The Missing portet of Pieter Teyler" you will explore the city of Haarlem during a 90-minute self-guided walking tour. In 90 minutes, you will see the most iconic places of Haarlem while solving fun puzzles about the environment. Do your best and set a new high score for the trip together with your friends or family.

As Discovery Trips is self-guided, there are no fixed starting times. You can pick whenever you want to start discovering and pause at any time.

In this trip, you'll need to find the missing portrait of Pieter Teyler. Mr. Teyler is a well-known resident of Haarlem. The Teylers Museum and the Teylers Hofje are built with his inheritance. Letters indicate that he has hidden a painting and left hints throughout the entire city. Can you find the painting?

Update: We received feedback that the puzzles were to easy, so we recently updated our puzzles to make them more challenging!

What are you waiting for? Let's start discovering!
