Most customers walk or cycle to the shop. If you are picking up a ten kilo bag of food, collecting a dog bed or bringing your dog to the grooming salon, the car is simply easier. On-street parking around the Haarlemmerbuurt is difficult: spaces are scarce, especially at weekends, and central Amsterdam street tariffs are high. The practical alternative is a short walk away.
Where to park
Willemspoort car park is located at Haarlemmer Houttuinen 549, next to Haarlemmerplein. It is owned and managed by the City of Amsterdam and has 203 parking spaces in a covered, secured building. Coming from the A10, you approach via the western ring road, so you avoid the narrow streets of the old centre altogether.
Facilities in the car park
The garage is accessible twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. There are twelve spaces with an electric charging point and four spaces reserved for visitors with a disabled parking permit. The maximum vehicle height is 2.10 metres, worth checking if you drive a van or have a roof box. The car park uses licence plate recognition at the barriers and has a lift, camera surveillance and a toilet. Payment is by debit or credit card.
From the car park to the shop
From the exit, walk towards Haarlemmerplein and turn into Haarlemmerdijk. You will find Het Vachtje at numbers 97-105, near the start of the shopping street. The distance is about 300 metres, roughly a four minute walk. That keeps the carry manageable when you are collecting food, a crate or a larger bed.
Useful to know if you bring your dog
Your dog is welcome inside the shop. Haarlemmerplein can be busy with traffic and cyclists, so keep your dog on a short lead until you are indoors. If you are coming for a harness, collar or bed, we will fit it together with your dog in the shop, so you know the size is right before you walk back to the car.
