Located on the west coast of the Netherlands, with no less than 11 km of sandy beach, The Hague is the administrative capital of the country, home to the Dutch royal family and the base for numerous international organisations. But beyond that it is a lovely place to stay wether you want to enjoy the city or the beach. Its residents are proud of their identity, but they also tend to look beyond borders.
Rotterdam, The Dam on the River Rotte, is the second-largest city in the Netherlands after the national capital of Amsterdam. It is in the province of South Holland, part of the North Sea mouth of the Rhine–Meuse–Scheldt delta. Its population was 664,311 in 2023.
