An expat guide to living in the Hague, the Netherlands, including the cost of living in the Hague

May 1, 2020 by Karen 33 Comments

Considering moving to the Hague, the Netherlands? The Hague has been my home for some months now and after having some difficult decisions on where to live in the Netherlands, my husband and I chose to move to the Hague.

Living in the Hague was right for us for a number of reasons, in particular, its low cost of living (for Holland), central location, and its international community. I got into the cost of living in the Hague, how to find housing in the Hague, the best neighborhoods in the Hague, and what the expat community in the Hague is like.

I knew that the Hague was cosmopolitan, however I never expected the range of cafes in the Hague that I’ve found here.  As someone who is an entrepreneur, I find that working at a coffee shop (not that kind!) helps me feel both refreshed and inspired in a way that I cannot feel at home.  Similarly, there’s a lot of taking a moment to enjoy on a good cup of coffee and the little joys that something so simple can bring, so keep reading for my favorite cafes and coffee shops in the Hague!
