Explore the City by Public Transport
It cannot be denied that there is a lot to see and do in the Hague – so make the most of your trip by exploring as much of the city as possible! The Dutch are known for their love of bikes. If you want to experience Dutch culture at its finest and explore the Hague like the locals do, renting a bike is definitely worth considering. However, while the Dutch have a hard time understanding this, cycling is certainly not for everyone. Are you looking for an alternative way to get around the city? The elaborate public transport system in the Hague is a quick, easy and budget-friendly way to explore the town.

Explore the Political Center of the Netherlands by Tram
The easiest way to discover the Hague is by tram. The most popular tourist attractions are easily reachable by tram, such as Madurodam or the Binnenhof.
