The Hague Travel Forum

Big hello,
I am interested in how to get from Den Haag to Brugge ? What is the cheapeast, what is the fastest, and what is the most convinient way if we consider both things, the price and the speed :)?

Thanks,
Vladimir

Havent done it in nearly 3 years but we took the train. Took 3 hours each way. Don't recall it being terribly expensive but as I said, nearly 3 years ago.

Reposting my post here (just in case):


Szervusz/Zdravo Vladimir,

Regarding trains - good news:

1) HAFAS database is the (almost) "king" for train scedules.

http://reiseauskunft.bahn.de/bin/query.exe/d <-- for German-speaking
http://reiseauskunft.bahn.de/bin/query.exe/e <-- for English-speaking, but much more limited functionality (if you want to buy the tickets, in fact - it's all German).

2) www.jizdenka.cz is the (almost) king of ticket prices. If you do not understand Slavic languages - SOL.

My guess, you are lucky, so go ahead! (You need to hit the "Mezinarodní tarifni kalkulator jizdneho CD" twice to get international prices). I could get a price from Tumangan(GR) which is in North Korea to Banja Luka: 152.10 E. till Zahony (GR) + 68.40 E. from Zahony(GR), and also from Banja Luka to Palermo: 149 E. - so probably Den Haag to Brugge is not very tough either... (I got it, too: 32.20), try it yourself!

Pozdrav

Taking the train is probably the best way:

single fare 2nd class: Eurp 32,20
day return 2nd class: Euro 64,40

so it's the same proce as indicated by www.jizdenka.cz. good!

Yes, plus 50 Eurocents surcharge if you buy at the counter.

They dare to surcharge for the regular TCV tarif, wow. Isn't it expensive enough? Luckily our "base" in Europe is Hungary, we usually buy mini-group ticket (sometimes the mini-group can be as small as a single person), they are called CITY-STAR, there are some good offers there and from Slovakia. For a single person from anywhere in Hungary to anywhere in NL and beck this would be 212 for the r/t, including the ICE surcharge. For two people it's 318 for the r/t. Our family (2 adults, one grown-up and 2 kids) would pay a total of 424 for the round-trip. between any place in Hungary and any place in NL. Pretty good price, I think.

Thank you very much.
