Haarlem

A picturesque city of windmills, cobblestoned streets and tulip fields, Haarlem has long been a welcoming refuge for those in need. During the First World War, Haarlem offered shelter to over four thousand Belgian refugees. Haarlem is a place where everybody has the room to think freely, speak openly, and live peacefully. The city’s history, tolerance, and hospitality makes Haarlem an ideal Shelter City.
