Audio Guide of Scheveningen Spa Resort

The beach and seaside promenade are open 24 hours a day, while the Grand Hotel Amrâth Kurhaus operates continuously for its guests and restaurant visitors. The easiest way to get there is by taking tram 1 or 9 from The Hague and getting off at the 'Kurhaus' stop.

Access to the beach, the boulevard, and the entrance to the famous Pier is completely free. If you would like to enjoy the historic interior of the Grand Hotel Amrâth Kurhaus, you can do so by booking dinner or afternoon tea at its restaurant.

To stroll along the boulevard, admire the architecture of the Kurhaus, and walk on the Pier, we recommend setting aside 2 to 3 hours. If you plan to eat there or enjoy the beach on a sunny day, it is well worth spending the whole afternoon.

The Kurhaus, inaugurated in 1885, was created as a luxurious spa resort and concert hall for the European aristocracy. It is a national monument famous for its impressive dome and for hosting legendary events, including the first Rolling Stones concert in the Netherlands.

Visiting at sunset offers spectacular light over the sea and the building, ideal for amazing photos. The summer months (July-August) have the best weather and a lively atmosphere, but if you are looking for მშვიდ and elegance, May or September are ideal.

Yes, the renovated Scheveningen boulevard is wide, flat, and fully suitable for wheelchairs. The Kurhaus hotel and the Pier have elevators and ramps to ensure comfortable access to all their main facilities.

Right next door you will find the SEA LIFE Scheveningen aquarium and the famous Pier with its Ferris wheel over the sea. In addition, the Beelden aan Zee sculpture museum is just a few minutes' walk away through the dunes.

Avoid driving on sunny summer days, as parking is very expensive and scarce; use public transport instead. Always bring a light jacket because of the sea breeze, and complement your walk with our audio guide to discover the secrets of the Dutch Belle Époque.
