Directions from within Europe

The Netherlands is well connected with cities like London, Paris, Brussels, and Frankfurt via high-speed rail services, such as Eurostar, Thalys, and ICE. We recommend taking high speed trains from international destinations to Rotterdam Central station, then connecting to The Hague Central from Rotterdam. Trains from Rotterdam to The Hague Central are frequent, fast, and convenient. See directions below from The Hague Central to The World Forum, below.

Tickets by high speed rail can be booked here.

Directions from International Locations

The Hague is very well connected to Amsterdam Schiphol airport (airport code AMS). We recommend taking a direct train from Schiphol to the Hague Central station. This train departs directly from within the Schiphol terminal building and is fast (about 30 minutes) and frequent (departing every 15 minutes). The most current information about train connections within the Netherlands can be found on this website or on the app. See directions below from The Hague Central to The World Forum, below.

We recommend flying to Schiphol and taking the train to the Hague; however, taxis are also available. A taxi from Schiphol to the Hague costs approximately €70-€80, and a taxi from the Rotterdam-The Hague airport costs approximately €55-€80 when booked in advance.

Directions from The Hague Central Station

The Hague Central Station is 4.5 km from The World Forum, so a taxi can be found at reasonable cost. If you want to continue on public transport, then consider one of the following options:

  • Take tram line 17 and get off at the Kunstmuseumstop
  • From the Centrum tram stop (800 m away), take tram line 1. Get off at the World Forum stop
  • From the bus platform, take bus number 24 Kijkduin. Get off at the Kunstmuseumstop
  • Take bus 28 DH Zuiderstrandand get off at the World Forum (West) stop

We recommend checking this website close to your travel time in order to account for outages and route changes.
