Getting there

Public Transport - Train

From Rotterdam Central Station, take a train to The Hague Central Station (Den Haag Centraal). Trains run frequently, so check the schedule but expect a journey of about 30 minutes. Once you arrive at The Hague Central Station, exit the station and follow the signs for the tram. You will need to take tram line 1 or tram line 17 towards the 'Delft' or 'Ziekenhuis' direction.

Public Transport - Tram

Walking

If you prefer to walk from The Hague Central Station, exit the station and head south towards the 'Korte Voorhout' street. Continue straight until you reach the 'Plein' square, which should take you approximately 15-20 minutes on foot. Het Plein is located at Plein 17A, so keep an eye out for the square where you can enjoy various cafes and historical landmarks.
