The Hague is located in the centre of Europe, between London, Frankfurt, Berlin, Paris and Rotterdam-- the world's largest port.
The Hague is at
the heart of the Randstad, the urban conglomeration in the west of the
Netherlands outlined by Amsterdam, Utrecht, The Hague and Rotterdam. Not just
the highest population centre, the Randstad is also the centre of
business, and where the majority of international companies are
located.
Other major cities in The Hague region (Regio Haaglanden) are Delft, a popular tourist destination and home to the Technical University; Zoetermeer, a widely-recognised IT centre; and Leiden, home to one of the largest and best-known universities in the Netherlands.
With two international airports,
several railway stations and a network of motorways, The Hague offers maximum
flexibility for getting around anywhere in Europe.
The universities of
Delft, Leiden and The Hague with nearby universities in Amsterdam and Rotterdam
provide a high-quality labour force, and the 99 embassies located in The Hague
add to the international flavour.
