Testimonials about The Hague

A collection of memorable quotes by dignitaries and other important and notable people who have visited or worked in The Hague.

The Hague is a manageable city with all the dimensions of a lively urban environment (culture, shopping, and transportation) and a unique international influence. For businesses, tourists or students, the access to international connections is invaluable. It is the “value added” dimension that gives The Hague a competitive edge.

It is also an environment that stimulates creativity, a consideration, I am sure, in setting up the successful Creative City program here. And finally, it cannot be ignored that The Hague has long been a “green city” because of all the parks, forests, trees and estates.
