After reading about the gate on TA I am glad I got to see this landmark. A great photo opportunity of a bygone era.
Helaas niet wat we verwacht hadden.Het is heel klein en niet erg indruk wekkend.Ligt ook voor een toerist op een stukje lopen vanaf het centrum .
I love this every time I see it I know I'm close to my sister's house. In the Amsterdamse straat. Behind the gate a nice place to shop.
You must take a picture in the old gate of Haarlem. It´s a little ancient beauty, well preserved in its original design. There is not much to see around but it´s worth paying a visit and taking a picture.
This is interesting because it's over 650 years old and is the only Haarlem city gate left, but if you're not interested in the history then it's rather underwhelming (especially if you have visited France's chateaus - in comparison to those, this is a small gate surrounded by aesthetically offensive modern buildings). In any case, if you're already within a few minutes' walk, then you might as well see it.
The only surviving of 12. City gates - very photographic! Nothing much else that we noticed in this area.
It is worth a visit to take some holiday pictures whilst you are in the town as it isn't too far from the centre. It is a small attraction that will take a couple of minutes to look at but it is very beautiful.
Unlike Leiden there isn't much to do close to the city gate, but as an landmark and historic object it is still worth visiting. It's nice for some nice holiday pictures and this gate is different from other Dutch city gates.It's for free, it will take you about 10 minutes from the Grote Markt, so if your in Haarlem anyway, why not take a look?.
questa costruzione che ancora resiste imperterrita e´una delle vecchie porte di ingresso della citta´, quando era ancora tutta circondata da mura. Per un pezzo si vede ancora l´ acqua che poi si spegne nella strada bonificata, pero´e´un posto che fa sognare...
We visited on a Sunday afternoon. Not much open til 5 near by. But this was a very beautiful. Parking is nearby.
