Traveling with public transport is the ideal way to explore South Holland. OVpay makes it very easy to check in and out with your bank card, credit card, or mobile device on buses, metro, trams, and water buses. With all the sights and attractions that this province has to offer, it’s not always easy to make a choice. We help you get started with our curated routes. Those who enjoy viewing everything from great heights will enjoy trying out this route!
Climbing the 376 steps of the Nieuwe Kerk in Delft requires some endurance, but you’ll be richly rewarded. The view over Delft from 85 meters high is fantastic, and on clear days, you can even see Rotterdam and The Hague. Don’t forget to explore the church itself. The colorful stained glass windows are real eye-catchers in this church. And while you’re there, you definitely don’t want to miss the mausoleum of William of Orange.
On the Scheveningen Boulevard, you won’t have a dull moment. You’ll find plenty of cafés and restaurants to enjoy a meal with a first-class view of the sea. But the real highlight is the Ferris wheel on the Pier. This Ferris wheel takes you right above the sea, where you can gaze out over kilometers of waves, the boulevard, and the beach. You can buy tickets at the pier itself or online to skip the queue. If you haven’t had enough of heights yet, thrill-seekers can also bungee jump or zipline here.
When visiting Rotterdam, you cannot miss the Euromast. At 185 meters tall, it offers the most stunning view over the bustling port city. The restaurant, located at a height of a hundred meters, serves brunch, lunch, high tea, or dinner. The rotating panoramic lift takes you to the top of the tower. For those seeking more excitement, you can also abseil down from the Euromast. If you want to make it a complete experience, the tower also features exclusive suites for an unforgettable overnight stay.
Checking in and out with your debit card works the same way as with your
OV-chipkaart. Below we explain it step by step.
