Shoe and accessibility

The Shoe Quarter aims to provide maximum accessibility for all visitors

  • The museum is located in a contemporary building and offers excellent handicap accessibility.
  • There are two wheelchairs in the museum (it is not possible to reserve them).
  • For people who cannot visit the museum independently, it is possible to bring a companion at no cost. We also allow the presence of assistance dogs.
  • In our museum we offer the possibility of borrowing wheelchairs, and each floor is made accessible by an elevator.
  • A disabled toilet is available.
  • We also have an area for baby care.


On Wednesday afternoons, a weekly market takes place in the square in front of the Shoe Quarter, which somewhat reduces our visibility.

You will find us in the north/west corner at the back of the square. Parking by car is not allowed in front/on the square. Dropping off disabled people is at your own risk.

Do you have questions or specific needs? Don't hesitate to contact us to discuss options. Unsure about your planned visit? Call us, we will be happy to give you advice.
