Haarlem

Grote Markt, courtyards and streets full of character, a stone's throw from the dunes.

Explore the city guide for Haarlem

Haarlem is often mentioned in the same breath as Amsterdam, but has a rhythm all its own. The Grote Markt with the Sint-Bavokerk is the setting for terraces and markets. Surrounding it are shopping streets that offer something just a little different from the well-known chains, and those who keep walking will naturally end up at the Spaarne.

The city reveals itself most beautifully to those who walk slowly. Haarlem has its courtyards: quiet, green inner courtyards that you will only find if you know where to look. And behind the facades lies a city of work, from the Gedempte Voldersgracht to the Brouwersvaart and the Garenkokerskade. Those who wish to go further can cycle straight into the dunes.

Loculy helps you discover Haarlem as it was meant to be: on foot, with an eye for detail, and along the way visiting places the city itself likes to frequent. A walking route tells the stories where they happened; the city guide points out the spots for coffee, lunch, or a drink.
