    In The Hague there are over 30 bus and tramlines for your travel needs. Buy a "nationale strippenkaart" at a train station, tourist- and post-office, tobacco shop, or bookshop.

    The "strippenkaart" gives you access to ALL Dutch buses and tramlines and costs 6.40 EURO for 15 "strips" (45 strippenkaart = 18.90 EURO). For students, people over 65 years old and children there is a reduced rate; 15 strippenkaart = 4.20 EURO.

    Also possible to buy a strippenkaart in the bus/tramline (HTM): 2 strippenkaart -> 1.60 EURO, 3 strippenkaart -> 2.40 EURO
    (on this strippenkaart children of 4 - 11 years and older people with 65-card can travel together at just one strippenkaart - prices with reserve)

    When travelling with your strippenkaart, ask some info inside with the conductor (about the transport zones which cost one strip).
    Like one zone travel in the city costs 2 strips, and two zones cost 3 strips etc.

    It is possible to buy a "group return" for one day, get some info at HTM. Here you may get any information about the way you wanna go ... also about some night services at Friday and Saturday (all specified on the back of the card).

    Be warned, taxis are expensive in the Netherlands. Just getting in a taxi already costs about 4.00 Euro (basic rate) plus each km travelled!
    Taxis can be hailed in the street, or ordered by phone:
    *ATC Taxi, 070 3178877
    *HCT City Tax, 070 3830830
    *HTMC, tel. 070 3907722

  • With the dayticket you buy for 5.70 Euro you have unlimited access to the trams and buses in and around Den Haag. You can also go to the beach in Scheveningen with it. Ticket is valid 24 hours.

    Trams go frequently, until late evening. At dark there are lots of security at the tram stations which make you feel safe but at the same time you wonder why they are there.

  • Trains between The Hague and Amsterdam, Schiphol or Utrecht run often and until about midnight. There is also a nighttrain connecting the big cities that goes once an hour.
    The center can easily be explored by foot. For further distances, trams and buses are good in The Hague.

    The Hague has two main train stations Centraal (CS) and Holland Spoor (HS).
    From here trains connect to almost anywhere in europe.
    The tram system is very widespread and punctual in The Hague. It's the best way to get around.

    I took the train to Den Haag Centraal and it was not fun! I started out in Hoofddorp at 9am and didn't arrive in the Hague until almost 12 noon because of problems with the trains that day. There were a couple of accidents and some lines were down on the tracks causing chaos and frustrated commuters everywhere. Needless to say I ended up with less hours than I had planned to spend in the city.
    I walked everywhere. A lot of the major sights are very close to each other so this was the cheapest way to see the city ;)

  • I travelled to The Hague by train from Amsterdam Centraal Station. The trains are frequent having a direct service to CS Station evey 30 minutes. The trains are are also quite comfertable too :-)
    While in The Hague I just used my legs to walk about. There is a tram system but it is a lot more fun just to walk about and discover everything.

  • If you think that you might be using trams and busses more than 3 times in Den Haag, you can save yourself money by buying a 'strippenkaart.' These are available at train stations, tourist office, news-agents, tobacconists and some other shops. They cost ý5,90 and are valid for 7,5 journeys if you're just travelling short distances in The Hague. There are usually no conductors on trams in The Hague, so you have to stamp your strippenkaart in the machines on the tram.

    If you're travelling by bus, the driver will stamp your ticket for you. Every time you stamp your strippenkaart it is valid for use on any bus or tram in that zone for 1 - 11/2 hours.

  • Remember to ask information at the local HTM shop which located just opposites Bijenkorf shopping centre.

    There you can find or ask informations about how to travel with local bus and tram, as the strippen card that you bought is valid for both usage.

    Do not forget that before you step into the Ranstad Rail tram, you have to stamp your strippen card first, as in this particular new tram, there is not any stamping machine available onboard. Currently there are 2 lines that use this new tram, Randstad Rail 3 and 4.

    Where else, the old trams have onboard strippen card stamping machines available.

    If you are a student or a pensioner, you can enjoy a special rates for the strippen card.

    Bus and tram time-tables are available for free at the self help counter.
