Visits

Would you like to visit the cemetery?

Contact us at info@joodsebegraafplaats.nl and usually we will be able to organise an individual visit. Mostly this concerns requests to visit a specific grave. Volunteer organisation Gilde Den Haag organises urban walking tours, including tours of the cemetery. See Guided tours. On the Sunday of the annual Heritage Day (Open Monumentendag, mid-September) the cemetery is open to the public. See Heritage Day. Instead of a visit to the cemetery you can also make a virtual walking tour with information (currently only available in Dutch) on a number of graves. Check under Walking Route on this website.

Rates

• Individual visits to graves: no rates will be charged but a suitable donation will be highly appreciated.
• All other visitors (such as groups with touristic or educational purposes): 5 euro per adult. If possible a guided tour of 1 hour max will be provided.
• Research by board members in order to find names, locations of grave stones etc.): 25 euro per hour.

The rates help to finance the upkeep of the cemetery, which is totally dependent of donations and subsidies.
For example: mowing of the grounds amount to 12.000 euro each year. Without these mowing rounds within two or three years most gravestones would simply be vanished from view.

Guided Tours

The tours, conducted by experienced city guides, last 1 ½ hours. There are costs involved. For more information see www.gildedenhaag.nl, call tel.nr. 070-3561281, or email to info@gildedenhaag.nl
