Plan your visit to Royal Christmas Fair

The location of the Royal Christmas Fair couldn’t be more perfect for visitors coming out of town, being a very short walk from The Hague central station and very close to the main shopping streets. There is nearby parking at Noordeinde, Plein and Malieveld, as well as at central station.

The entrances to the fair can be found at Kloosterkerk, Hotel des Indes and the American Embassy. Check out the Royal Christmas Fair website for more visitor information.
