The Hague - Getting Around
The local tram and bus company is HTM (tel: (070) 384 8666; website: www.htm.net). Pick up a timetable from the tourist office. Buying a one-day ticket or a strippenkaart (from the tourist office, post office or other outlets, but not on board) is cheaper than buying single or return tickets. If you buy a strippenkaart (which come in either 15-45 strips) a basic fare is two strips plus an additional strip for each grenze or zone you pass through. Tram 1 is a useful line, running from Delft to Scheveningen via the Centrum (city centre) and Vredespaleis (Peace Palace).
