On foot, by bike or by public transport. Getting around The Hague and in the surrounding areas is quite simple.
ON FOOT
The city center is quite small and collected, ideal for getting around on foot and visiting the main monuments and attractions. The distances are not at all prohibitive. Quite the contrary.
On foot, you can move from the central train station to the center in about ten minutes.
BIKE
The two-wheeler is one of the favorite means by the Dutch. You can move around the city and in the suburbs, and reach the nearest destinations. Schevinghen, one of the most famous places on the Dutch coast, for example, is just 5 kilometers from here.
The bike will also allow you to move freely, and discover the wonderful surrounding landscapes.
Fietsverhuur Den Haag, in Noordeinde 39, is an excellent rental agency, located right in the center. Recommended for location and not too expensive prices. The classic bike, daily, costs 12.50€. Discounts are available from 15 to 20% for weekly rentals. You pay in cash, leaving a deposit and a copy of your document. Open every day, from Monday to Sunday, from 09:00 to 18:00.

GETTING AROUND THE HAGUE BY BUS AND TRAM
HTM manages urban transport through 12 tram lines and 8 bus lines. HTM serves the city of The Hague and the surrounding area: Delft, Zoetermeer, Leidschendam, Voorburg, Rijswijk, Nootdorp and Wateringen.
Tram and bus represent, therefore, an excellent solution to move in The Hague and in the surrounding areas. The vehicles are modern, efficient and above all punctual.
All RandstadRail and R-Net buses and trams are low-floor, with entry without steps. They can therefore be used by people with reduced mobility, on wheelchairs and people with pushchairs.
The red and beige trams, which circulate on the 1, 6, 12 and 16 lines, have, instead, steps at the entrance. They are therefore not accessible to wheelchair users.
Buses and trams run daily, from Monday to Sunday, from 05:30 approximately, until late at night. On Fridays and Saturdays there is a night service with 6 lines, from N1 to N6, depending on 01:00 at 05:00. The lines pass through the center and the suburbs.
It should also be remembered that other companies that operate extra-urban connections also operate in the city. This is the case of RET which makes connections to the underground line E, from Rotterdam to The Hague.
