Traveling to The Hague (Den Haag) and getting around townSince The Hague ("Den Haag" in Dutch) is one of the larger cities in Holland, its two large train stations (Den Haag Centraal Station and Den Haag Hollands Spoor) provide plenty of connections to other cities in the Netherlands. For more information about taking a train in Holland, please see the train page. Within the city itself, a large network of trams and buses is available to take you anywhere you would like to go. Both of the main train stations contain information centers of the HTM, the Tram Association of The Hague. You can use these information centers to find out which train or bus to take to get to your destination, but you can also buy your transit tickets here.  Click here to visit the HTM website. A short version of the site is available in (badly written) English. While on your tram, you might travel through the locally infamous "Hague Tram Tunnel", a 1,000-yard long tunnel that had so many leaks and cracks that the building process took four years longer to build than originally foreseen and cost well over 200 million euros. Tram lines 2, 3, and 6 travel through this tunnel. You can also travel to the city by car, although traffic can be very busy, especially around rush hour. One of Holland’s main highways, the A12, has its terminus in the downtown area of The Hague, so it is possible to get reasonably close to the city center without having to navigate through too many traffic lights. However, like in most large cities in the Netherlands, finding a parking spot is difficult and parking is expensive. Related articles about The Hague
