Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best live music venues in The Hague?
Paard van Troje (Prinsegracht, cap ~1,200 main hall) is the heart of The Hague's live music scene — a multi-floor venue covering rock, indie, electronic and pop touring acts. Zuiderstrandtheater handles more classical and theatrical shows near the beach at Scheveningen. For club nights, Korzo (Korte Beestenmarkt) covers underground dance and experimental music.
How do I get home after a concert in The Hague?
HTM runs trams and buses across The Hague. Regular services run until around midnight; after that, night buses cover key routes on Friday and Saturday nights. Paard van Troje is a 10-minute walk from Den Haag Centraal station, giving good train connections to Rotterdam and Leiden for those heading out of the city. The Hague is also very cycle-friendly — bike parking is available near all major venues.
How much do concert tickets cost in The Hague?
Shows at Paard van Troje typically run €15–€40 for club nights and smaller touring acts, rising to €50–€90 for more established names. Zuiderstrandtheater theatre and classical events usually sit in the €20–€60 range. Larger pop and rock events may occasionally be held at GelreDome in Arnhem or the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam for international acts that skip The Hague.
Is it normal to go to concerts alone in The Hague?
Absolutely — The Hague's large international community (it's home to many UN and international court workers alongside expats) means a cosmopolitan, open concert crowd.
