Hitchhiking out

North, West, South towards Utrecht, Amsterdam, Rotterdam

The liftershalte, a spot for hitchhiking at the beginning of the A12 next to the (north-eastern edge of) Malieveld is great when you're going in the direction of Utrecht. It could also work when going north towards Amsterdam or south towards Rotterdam and Belgium. The official sign now seems to be removed and replaced with a regular bus stop sign.

To get there from the Den Haag CS (the central station), walk along the Koningskade in north-western direction until you see the Malieveld (big grass field) on your right. The spot is right across the field on the other side.
