Cómo moverse
Train and tram
Trains in the direction of The Hague and Rotterdam leave about every 10 minutes from the station. Tickets for the train can be bought in the 'NS app' which also has a travel planner. If you are travelling with children, it is generally cheaper to buy a day ticket for them rather than return tickets.
For the tram to The Hague, it is easy to buy a day ticket in the HTM ticket app. Payment can be done with credit card.
