* Use of Internet PCs in every city library, for a small price, Also you can find lots of public wi-fi networks that you can connect your laptop with for using the internet.
* When hitching in the Netherlands for a longer period (or when you're living there), it's advisable to buy yourself a ''15-strippenkaart'' for EUR 7,60, or a ''45-strippenkaart'' for EUR 22,50 in advance in a shop. This is a lot cheaper than buying a 2-, 3- or 8-strippenkaart on the bus or tram. (In the Netherlands any tram/bus route is divided into zones/stripes ‒ for example, if you go from the centre of [[The Hague]] to the beach in [[Scheveningen]], it costs you 3 stripes, [[Delft]] to [[The Hague]] is about 8 stripes. So even if you are hitching all around the Netherlands, you can get yourself a strippenkaart (valid for around one year) for getting into/out of city centres ‒ it will be valid all over the country.)
**'''The ''Strippenkaart'' won't be available anymore in many municipalities from 1st of April 2011. Current tickets are most likely be valid until May 2011 (differs within regions), from then on the new called ''Gemakskaart'' will be in use, which is way more expensive than the old ones.'''
* The banks here often do free coffee and sometimes even cookies.
* 'Lefier' (or local job-centres) do free coffee and sometimes have jars of free chocolates and mints.
