How do you get to a major event in The Hague, such as at Malieveld, by taxi?

For a major event in The Hague, such as the Bevrijdingsfestival Zuid-Holland (South Holland Liberation Festival) at Malieveld or The Crave, it's best to book a taxi in advance. Roads around large events can sometimes be closed; therefore, agree on a pick-up spot slightly outside the venue.

Good to know before you travel

If you know the area, preferably enter an exact address as the pick-up location. This allows the driver to go directly to that spot. If that's not possible or the area is closed off, the driver will contact you by phone to agree on an accessible meeting point together. This also applies to Ahoy, De Kuip, and festivals.

Up-to-date information

The location and programme of festivals like the Bevrijdingsfestival can vary per edition. Dates, locations, and traffic measures differ each time. Always check the latest information with the organiser and the municipality before planning your trip.

Why checking this in advance makes a difference

The question “how do you get to a major event in The Hague, such as at Malieveld, by taxi?” usually doesn’t arise for no reason. You want to arrive on time, avoid surprises, and know what to expect on the day. At a busy destination, many visitors arrive around the same time and often leave simultaneously. The final metres of the journey therefore sometimes require more planning than the long route to get there.

The best preparation aligns with your own situation. A recognisable address is more practical than a general description of a site or district. If you know the area, it's best to choose an exact address. Otherwise, the driver can contact you by phone to agree on an easy meeting point.

How to apply this to your own journey

Just before departure, check the latest information from the venue or organiser. Road closures and temporary traffic measures can change. Also, keep your phone charged and reachable around the agreed pick-up time. Use the details of the actual traveller, even if someone else is making the booking.

After calculating, take a moment to check all details before paying. This way, the practical information from this article won't just be theory, but will result in a journey that has been clearly and calmly prepared.

In short

Book in advance and agree on a meeting point outside the venue: that's how you get home safely after a major event in The Hague.
