Travel Arrangements
Location
CHI 2000 will be held at the Nederlands Congress Centre (NCC), Churchillplein 10, The Hague, The Netherlands.
Public Transport
The use of public transportation rather than cars is strongly recommended.
Cars can be hired at the airport, but their use within the city is strongly discouraged. Traffic is usually heavy enough to make cars a much slower form of transportation than express trams, trams, or even bicycles.
Strippenkaarten are used to pay fares for all public transport within The Hague. The fare is one strip per travelling zone plus one additional strip per ride. Journeys between the NCC and the city center are 2 zones, and therefore 3 strips. From the NCC to Scheveningen is 2 strips. Trams 7 and 8 stop near the Congress Centre. The cards are stamped in a machine inside the tram or by the bus driver. A card with 15 strips can be purchased for approximately NLG 11.75 ($6.00 US) at the ticket office of railway stations, tobacconists, and most hotels. Single journey cards can also be purchased from tram or bus drivers, but they are 50% more expensive. These cards cannot be used for trains to and from the airport.
Parking Facilities
The Nederlands Congress Centre has a private underground car park with a total of 750 paid parking places. The maximum height of cars is 2 meters. Vans and trucks have to be parked in the neighborhood around the Congress Centre.
Air Travel
Passports
Conference participants from countries other than The Netherlands will need a passport to attend CHI 2000. Visas will not be required for travelers from the EC (European Community) or North America.
Schiphol Airport
Schiphol International Airport is located 40 kilometers northeast of The Hague. Currency exchange banks are available in both the arrival and departure halls. For information about Amsterdam Airport Schiphol see: www.schiphol.nl.
Airport Taxicabs
Taxicabs are available outside the airport terminal. We recommend you take the train to The Hague and not a taxi as it is very expensive, about US$60/NLG 120.
