What is the quickest way to come to Rotterdam from the Amsterdam airport?
Are there ways without going there wihout going through the city of Amsterdam?

Hello everybody,

I'm a sports journalist from Romania and starting 20th of May I will be travelling to Holland to cover the national team's matches versus Ukraine, Denmark and Wales.

I've been told that the first training camp for the dutch team prior to the above games will be held in two different cities: Noordwijk and Katwijk.

Firstly, I want to know whats the distance between these two cities (Noordwijk and Katwijk) and Amsterdam, where I plan to book a hotel during the first week of my stay in Holland?

Secondly, I want to know how can I get to Noordwijk and Katwijk from Amsterdam and how long the trip is going to take?


The 2nd dutch training camp, between 26th of May and 1st June is going to be held in a village called "Hoenderloo".

I have two options for the 2nd week of my stay in Holland: to book a hotel in Rotterdam or in Eindhoeven.

I would like to know which of these cities is closer to Hoenderloo?
And how can I can get to Hoenderloo from either Eindhoven or Rotterdam and how long the trip is going to take?

I thank you in advance for your help and will be waiting for your replies.
Kind regards from Bucharest

I moved to The Hague just about two weeks ago and I would like to make new friends. I'm Italian and I lived already in Leiden for 3 years and a half. I know a bit the city of The Hague but not soo well. I'd like to meet up with people and make new friends. What's the gay life like here in The Hague?

Thanks

Hey, does anyone know where is possible to make a BBQ in rotterdam (in a public park...), for example I saw a place in kralingen near the lake but I'm not sure it's possible there.

Hy. I am coming to The Hague. I will take a plane to Charleroi. Could someone tell me please how do i get to The Hague from Charleroi airport because i really don't know what to do. If you can please tell me exactly what but/train to take. I am interested on 17 may.

I will also like to know how can i get fom The Hague railway station to noorderbeekdwarsstraat street. What bus i should take?

And what chances i have to find an apartment to rent around 800 E in The Hague.

Thank you very much

Hi!
We are planning to visit Tulip field, but are advised to delay my trip as there are still no flowers in the fields. Can anyone please let me know about the current flower status of the fields and when should we visit Lisse ?

Thanks in Advance...

Hello,
I'm planning to go to Keukenof and I've read that there's a direct bus from Schiphol airport (bus 58) to Keukenhof. My flight arrives at 7pm in the evening at Schiphol. What time is the last bus departing from airport to Keukenhof?

If bus 58 going to Keukenhof is no longer available at night, is there another bus or train from the airport that can take me somewhere near Keukenhof?

Also, any suggestions on a cheap accommodation to spend the night near Keukenhof? I can stay overnight here then go to the garden/park the next day for a daytrip.

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot!!!!!

We plan to go from the airport to Leiden, from Leiden to Keukenhof and back, to Haarlem and back, and on the third day back to the airport. We would also like to go to Madurodam at some point, maybe on the way to the airport, if it works out--or we can take a side trip from Leiden. Would you recommend the bus or the train? Can you get a book of tickets cheaper than buying them one at a time?

Thank you, Arlene Schander

Hello dear Netherland VT mates.

While next weekend we will be there in Keukenhof , we really wonder if flowers are already bloomed in the area , or we will do a looooong way from Greece to be disappointed ? :) :)


And something else : some people say take your ticket to Keukenhof through their web page to avoid big lines of waiting people.
IS THIS TRUE ?

Will be happy to have an answer from you. Thanks a lot.

(weather here start turning to spring and temp goes up - really nice)

Take care

Hello!

I will be visiting Middelharnis in mid March and have a few questions.

1. What is public transportation like. I assume the nearest train access is Rotterdam. So are there buses from ther to middelharnis and how often do they run? Is there a website with the schedules and bus numbers? We will probably spend a night there so is there regular bus transport to neighbouring communities?

2. Is there another major community besides Roterdam that would be a good connecting point to get to Middelharnis? Dordrecht or Breda perhaps?

3. Accomdation. Are there reasonably priced hotels in or near to Middelharnis?

4. This is a difficult one! I'm going to be trying to trace an old friend who lived in Middelharnis when I was a child about 1970. Are there public records that might help me find out what happened to them. I asume the family is long gone from the address so I would be looking at maybe housing record/marriage who knows? What would you look for if you were trying to trace an old friend from childhood?

Many thanks
Mike

I'm taking a train from Dordrecht and will park at P+R Markettenweg. How long does it take to get to the station on foot? The map does not show an obvious route because the station and P+R have the rails separating them! Maybe there's a pedestrian tunnel?
Thanks!

I'm writing a book about your area, and I wondered what kinds of trees do you have. I believe it is the birch tree that grows out over the canals and has loose bark. What other kinds of trees do you have in your area. Also, do you have caterpillars and what colors are they?

I would very much appreciate your help in giving me details about your lovely city. Thank you.
