There are a variety of ticket options, from an hour-long pass to the OV chipkaart, and travelling by public transport is a reliable and easy way of getting from A to B. Or opt for the most popular way to travel and start cycling. With its flat terrain and excellent cycle path network, cycling is a common mode of transport in the Netherlands, both for commuting and for leisure. Cycling from one end of The Hague to the other takes about 45 minutes for an average cyclist.

So it’s a good idea to consider your options before starting your journey. 

The Hague has various car rental services, but there are also more sustainable ways to drive in The Hague. Car-sharing schemes such as Greenwheels, a subscription-based car-sharing service, make commuting in and around the city easy. You can use Greenwheels with your OV chipkaart.
