The Hague - Post Report Question and Answers

What are some typical ways to socialize, either with local people or with other expatriates? Are there groups or clubs that you can recommend?

Families tend to make friends through neighborhood groups and the school. Singles and couples without kids seem to gravitate to expat and other social groups in the city. - May 2022


There are plenty of social clubs and groups. There are lots of outdoor activities to enjoy and it’s a great way to meet people. - Feb 2021


Lots of outdoor activities. Biking of course, paragliding, kite surfing, running, swimming, sailing, you name it. The Dutch love their sports and take advantage of the nice summer weather to go all out. Amsterdam is a short train ride away with a myriad of museums and cultural experiences. We have never been bored. Our older kids have complete freedom to explore here since it is such a safe environment and public transportation is easy to navigate. We have thoroughly enjoyed it. - Jan 2019
