Things to do in The Hague

Cycling

The Dutch 'national sport' is cycling, and this is an excellent way to explore The Hague and the surrounding areas – provision for cyclists is very good, and it's possible to travel around safely protected from traffic. There are plenty of outlets offering bikes for hire, including Rijwiel Shop in Koningin Julianaplein.

Watersports

During the summer, the local beaches at Scheveningen and Kijkduin offer an excellent range of water-based activities, ranging from simple swimming to more adventurous pursuits such as surfing. There is a surfing school at the Hart Surfshop on Scheveningen Beach offering a range of courses for various levels of skill and experience.

Go-karting

The Hague's karting centre, De Uithof, was completely renovated in 2010, and claims to offer a challenge for experienced drivers and novices alike. The centre also offers a wide range of other activities including laser tagging, bungee football, and at certain times of year, icekarting, rock climbing and skiing.
