5 Coworking Spaces in Haarlem

About Haarlem

Not to be confused with Harlem, New York, Haarlem in the Netherlands is a lovely historical city just 20 km from Amsterdam. The city contains several cultural attractions including theaters, cinemas, and the Teylers Museum — the oldest museum in the Netherlands. Yet, while Haarlem is a town that’s proud of its traditional roots, the city is also innovating in other ways. Take for example Haarlem’s coworking spaces.

The city’s handful of coworking spaces are spacious, welcoming, and flexible enough to meet the needs of any modern worker. One of the coworking spaces in town even has a room that’s been converted into a sandbox for you. Talk about the perfect place to walk around barefoot and have your senses tickled to inspire creativity. Plus, if sandy sensations make you crave visiting a real beach, the Bloemendaal-aan-zee Beach is just a 10 minute journey away.

Coming back to Haarlem, local business opportunities are abundant for those selling physical goods. Haarlem has been voted best shopping city in the country numerous times. The city center’s large chain stores, luxury boutiques, and specialty shops have products that appeal to consumers on any budget. Haarlem also has a nice dining scene. There are a wide range of restaurants and bars for you to chat with clients, or network with other local professionals.

Haarlem’s tourism industry is also quietly booming in the shadow of Amsterdam. Though Haarlem has just 150,000 inhabitants, it’s estimated that 750,000 tourists visit the city each year. Products or services catering to these visitors will have an essentially never ending funnel of leads coming in. Haarlem’s beautiful historic city center, walkability, and surprising amount of business opportunities make it the perfect place to cowork from if you’d like a city that’s peaceful, yet not too quiet.
