The Hague - Post Report Question and Answers
What have been the highlights of your time in this country? Best trips or experiences?
We have had an amazing time in the Netherlands. First, the kids have loved their life here, the American School of The Hague, and all their friends. For Mom & Dad, we love that the kids love it here, but we also love the ease of life. We can walk (or bike) to the store, dinner, dry cleaner, whatever you need. On the weekends, there are tons of museums, WWII monuments, and other historic places to visit around the Netherlands. In terms of travel around Europe, it is really easy to fly out of Schiphol or Rotterdam, take a train (including the Eurostar to London or Paris), or drive. We've visited more than 20 countries and feel very fortunate to have had such an amazing opportunity. - Mar 2025
There are tons of options for local travel. I think I've done around 15 other towns/cities and enjoyed all of them. Travel to the airport is easy and the flight options for Europe are endless. It will be hard to adjust to a new country that doesn't have the amazing travel options offered here. - May 2022
Unfortunately, much of our post has been come with some sort of COVID lockdown or restriction which has made much of the tourism and travel unavailable to us. However, we have truly enjoyed riding our bikes, going to the beach, wandering through all many of the Dutch cities, and hiking in nature. It has still been very enjoyable for us. We love living here. In non-COVID times, the ease of travel throughout Europe (by car, train, or plane) is awesome. Many of our friends have covered a lot of ground in only a couple years. There are also a lot of museums and wonderful sites to see when business and tourism can resume. - Feb 2021
