Delegations will be required to make their own local transport arrangements, at their own expense, both from the airport to their hotels and for the duration of their stay in The Hague.

Taxis and limousines are readily available at Schiphol (Amsterdam) Airport. There is also a frequent and reliable train service between Schiphol and the two main railway stations in The Hague - Centraal Station and Hollands Spoor (HS) Station. Cars can be rented on a daily or weekly basis.

Participants are advised to only use licensed taxis which have blue number plates. When ordering a taxi, please indicate that special OPCW rates are available to you when you use taxis from the following company: City Tax - Tel: +31 (0)70 383 0830.

Taxis are numerous everywhere and can be hailed when the (middle) light on the taxi's roof is lit. At airports you are advised not to accept a ride from unlicensed taxis but to go to the taxi stand where you will be given an indication of the fare to your destination.

Transport tickets (strippenkaarten) valid for trams and buses can be purchased from the main Reception desk at the WFCC or from tobacco shops, newsstands, train stations, post offices or transport kiosks. Tickets bought directly from the driver cost up to 40% more per ride —  a single journey within one zone costs 2 strips (€1.60), two zones cost 3 strips (€2.40). Strippenkaarten of 15 strips (€6.90) or 45 strips (€20.40) are more economical per ride. Once on board, the driver can determine the amount of strips needed per individual ride.
