The AFAS Circustheater is the most modern and spacious theater in the city. Originally built around the turn of the last century, this theater was refurbished in the 1990s and now is the scene of musicals, big theatrical productions, and concerts. The theater's shows are such big popular productions that they tend to sell out fast so purchases should be made well in advance. The theater is right on the Scheveningen promenade and within walking distance of most of the hotels and restaurants in the area.
