Travel from the airport to venue and hotel Babylon New Hamshire
From Schiphol Airport you can take the train to The Hague Central station (leaves every half hour). You can buy a single-use chipcard to pay for your trip to the Hague. These are available from the blue/yellow vending machines at the train station.
Important! When you travel with a single-use chipcard you must check in and out with each train operator through the gates or posts.

In the Netherlands we use different electrical plugs than you are used to. Please bring a power adapter with you. We do not have them available for everyone!
