You will find 17th and 18th-century townhouses, narrow shopping streets and the Grote Markt square. It attracts creative professionals, media workers and Amsterdam commuters who want a historic Dutch city at slightly lower cost.

Haarlem's historic centre has narrow streets and 17th-century townhouses similar to Amsterdam. Some properties in the Binnenstad and the Grote Markt streets require access planning. A verhuislift (external furniture hoist) may be needed for upper-floor properties in the historic centre. Your partner mover arranges the Gemeente parking permit and the verhuislift booking at least 48 to 72 hours before the move.
Outside the historic centre, Haarlem has modern and post-war residential areas with standard access. The districts of Schalkwijk, Boerhaavewijk and Parkwijk have wide roads and standard staircase access. No verhuislift is needed for most addresses outside the historic Binnenstad. The difference between historic-centre and suburban Haarlem access is significant. Always tell your partner mover exactly where your property is. It matters.
Properties on the Nieuwe Gracht and Zuider Buiten Spaarne have the most restricted access. The streets near the Frans Hals Museum are tight too. Modern apartment blocks in Haarlem-Noord have lifts and wide staircases. Your partner mover confirms access and arranges permits for the specific address.
These are rough planning guides only. Every move is different. The actual price depends on your volume, UK collection address and access. Your matched removal company prices the move after a proper survey. For a full cost breakdown see Netherlands removals costs.
