The Hague is known as the political centre of the Netherlands, but it also has 11 km of coastline, making it the biggest Dutch coastal city.
You can easily reach The Hague by train from Belgium by taking the Eurocity Direct, the EuroCity or Eurostar train to Rotterdam, where you have easy and frequent onward connections to The Hague.
As an alternative, you can also travel to The Hague times a week in the evening three without having to change trains, using the European Sleeper night train that calls at The Hague on its route from Brussels to Berlin and Prague.
Whichever train you choose, book your tickets to The Hague at the best fares from SNCB-NMBS International.
Due to announced strike, fewer trains will be operating on the Belgian rail network from Sunday 11 October (10 pm - CET) to Monday 11 October 2026 included.
An alternative train service will be drawn up based on available train staff. All details on this alternative train service will be available 24h in advance on www.belgiantrain.be.
Please take this alternative train service into account if you need to take a domestic connection in Belgium before or after an international train journey, or if you need to take our regional trains just across the border (Roosendaal, Maastricht, Aachen, Luxembourg, Lille or Maubeuge).
For the time being, we still don't know the possible impact of this strike on international trains (EuroCity, Eurocity Direct, TGV INOUI, Eurostar, OUIGO, ICE etc.). Please check this page regularly for further updates.
