Haarlem

There are so many interesting buildings, historic courtyards, museums and churches that you will want to explore, but it isn’t always straightforward. The city centre has been helpfully pedestrianised, though delivery vehicles are allowed in during the morning and streets get blocked. Cyclists and scooter and motorbike riders roam freely in this area and can be a hazard to the unwary. There are lots of cobbles and such dropdowns as there are aren’t always easy to navigate. The pavements in the historic centre are often completely blocked by pavement cafés and parked bikes, forcing the wheelchair user into the path of oncoming and often uncompromising cyclists.
