The Hague International Centre is organising an event that will give expats and internationals the info they need about leisure activities to optimise their summer in The Hague.

While the event will be of particular interest to residents of the royal city, people living in the surrounding region, for instance, Delft, Leidschendam-Voorburg or Rijswijk, are welcome to attend. Please note that there are no facilities or activities for children during this event.

Take a housing survey

Finding a home is getting more difficult in South Holland. The Hague International Centre wants to make sure everyone can enjoy living in the region. The Hague International Centre and the Municipality of The Hague are carrying out a housing survey to identify bottlenecks, housing shortages and developments in the international community.

The more people participate in the survey, the better, as the results will influence policy making and contribute to improvements. So take the housing survey on The Hague International Centre website.
