difficult to hail a taxi on the street. The best way is to ask the hotel or restaurant to order one. There are many companies and prices can vary. The taxi head office has phone number; + 31 (0)20 677 77 77. There is also a low-price taxi company called Taxi Tulip, their phone number is; + 31 (0)20 636 3000. Expect to pay about €10-€15 for trips in the city.
