Opening of the royal waiting room
19 Apr - 5 Jul
This spring, the royal waiting room at Hollands Spoor Station in The Hague will be temporarily opened. Led by an enthusiastic guide, the tour will give you a unique insight into the royal family's travel past.
Hidden at Hollands Spoor station
Did you know that a beautiful royal waiting room is hidden at Hollands Spoor station? During its grand opening on 5 October 1893, Princess Wilhelmina and Queen Regent Emma called the royal waiting room in The Hague a "jewel to the residence".
The waiting room offers a unique insight into the royal family's travel history. This hidden royal gem was invisible to the public for a long time, but after extensive restoration, it is now accessible to visitors again.
- Guided tours take place on selected Sundays between 7 September and 2 November, including Prinsjesdag (16 September) and Monday 15 September.
- The tours last thirty minutes and can be booked between 9.30 a.m. and 1 p.m. and between 1.30 p.m. and 5 p.m.
- The tour is in Dutch.

Practical information
Meeting point: Stationsplein 49. To the right of the station's main entrance, you will see a small stone extension with a white canopy and large wooden doors (opposite the Albert Heijn supermarket). At these doors is the meeting point for your guided tour of the royal waiting room.
In real life, the royal waiting room is even more impressive.
