Overview

Where's The Hague?

Published: 23 November 2009 Modified: 23 November 2009

The Hague is located in the centre of Europe, between London, Frankfurt, Berlin, Paris and Rotterdam-- the world's largest port.

The Randstad: Cities on the Edge

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.

Centre of Operations

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.
