Look closely at Haarlem's surviving medieval city gate on the eastern edge of the old centre. It is a short exterior stop with a clear historical purpose.

The gate marks a former threshold between Haarlem and the route towards Amsterdam. Its towers and brickwork make the city's old defences easy to picture, even though most of the walls have disappeared. It adds a compact architectural stop to a walk through the eastern centre.
