A new metro station has just opened at Lisbon Airport enabling passengers and visitors to travel to the city centre in just 15 minutes.  This development has made a significant impact to improve access to Lisbon Airport, thus constituting an important hub for air passengers.  There are three transit levels: main lobby for airport access, intermediate floor and platform.

The station is now one of the Red Line stations, with connections to the stations of Oriente (Parque das Nações), Saldanha and São Sebastião, the latter with a connection to Marques de Pombal station, on the Blue line, thus allowing a fast and convenient access to the city’s prime areas.  The airport metro station is majestic and striking, not only for its dynamic and contemporary architecture – as well as the decor, which is signed by the Portuguese cartoonist “Antonio” of leading Portuguese figures, representative of the 20th century, carved in stone and embedded in the walls throughout the station.

The Hague presents itself as a city for congresses and company events in the Netherlands. The combination of classical, modern and multi-functional congress and event-locations, an extensive choice of three, four and five star hotels, top of the bill catering and excellent organisation agencies make The Hague a suitable location for all your events. The worldly sophistication of the city centre, the beach and the nightlife sizzle of Scheveningen and the easygoing elegance of Kijkduin, The Hague offers a unique blend of versatility, service and quality. City of 21st century architecture and daring innovations, of both art and business, and most of all … a city of style.
International style, that is.

 

Being the Royal residence and the political centre of The Netherlands, the city of The Hague is a national icon. The monumental government buildings, the palaces and the embassies, the fashionable stores, the statues and fountains, they represent the city’s classical face. But just a stone’s throw away, in stark contrast, the breathtaking shapes of the new millennium are evident in the latest architecture and design. It’s no coincidence that many renowned national and international businesses and organisations have elected The Hague as their home base.

 

The Hague’s unique location by the North Sea gives it an extra dimension where recreation is concerned. The many cultural and tourist attractions, the exciting list of annual events and the highly varied collection of shops and restaurants have made The Hague The Netherlands’ second tourist destination for many years.

Rotterdam The Hague Airport is one of the largest and most modern regional airport in the Netherlands, situated between the cities of Rotterdam and The Hague in the industrial heart of the country. The catchment area contains approximately 5 million people and is the home to a number of important industries (European Seaport number 1, Rotterdam), numerous multinationals (Unilever, Shell, Siemens) and large companies operating in the international business.
 
Rotterdam The Hague Airport offers a fast and easy way of air transport to and from the southwest part of the Netherlands, by offering facilities and procedures specially aimed at the hub bypass trend (the direct connection of regions instead of connecting via mainports), for the airline as well as the passenger.
 
Rotterdam The Hague Airport has invested heavily in passenger facilities. The architecture used for the reconstruction of the terminal has become famous nationally as well as internationally for its luxury and speed. Well known airlines such as Transavia.com and VLM Airlines offer an interesting route network within Europe.
