Choose the station for your day
A suitable NS train from Amsterdam Centraal to Den Haag Centraal takes roughly 50 to 60 minutes. Use that as a planning range, then check your date in the NS planner. Engineering work and your departure time can change the route. Compare Amsterdam Zuid too if you are staying south of the centre.
Den Haag Centraal suits a walk towards the central sights. Hollands Spoor is another station in The Hague, with different onward connections. Search the address of your first visit before choosing a train, especially if you are heading straight to the coast.
Tickets and the last part of the trip
Ordinary domestic trains do not need a reserved seat. You can buy an NS ticket or use an eligible card or device with OVpay. Each traveller needs their own payment method, and must use the same card or device to check in and out. A phone and its physical bank card count as different methods.
The fare on this page is an earlier planning estimate. Price both directions for a day trip and add local travel. An NS train ticket does not automatically include an HTM tram to Scheveningen. Check the HTM planner for the stop nearest your destination and the return connection.
Leave room for one main visit
The central streets, Hofvijver and a museum make a useful day without adding the beach. If the coast is your priority, allow a separate part of the day for it. The Hague guide explains the Binnenhof renovation and the current Mauritshuis closure dates, which matter before you book an art-focused trip.
An overnight stay gives you time for dinner and another visit the next morning. You can then continue with the short The Hague to Delft journey. For a wider holiday, read our Netherlands seasons guide.
