The Hague’s city center is pedestrian-friendly, with limited car access and expensive parking. To save costs and minimize your ecological footprint, we recommend using the city’s extensive public transport network.

If driving is essential, the following parking options are closest:

• Central to the Festival: Grote Markt

• Nearby Festival Venues: Stadhuis

• Near City Center: City Parking

All festival venues are centrally located in The Hague and can easily be reached on foot. If you’d like to move between venues faster, cycling is an excellent option as the city has a well-connected bike infrastructure.
