The Hague Recap
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 Figures
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.
Marbella Recap
Marbella is a city in the Andalusia province of Spain half an hours drive from Malaga airport. It is known for being the playground for the rich and famous and has become one of the most prominent beach resorts on the Costa del Sol. Marbella sits in the perfect location beside the Mediterranean Sea with the rolling Sierra Bermeja Mountains behind and with an average of 320 days of sunshine a year it attracts visitors all year round.
It’s a city made up of two halves, Modern Marbella and the Old Town or Casco Antiguo. Modern Marbella has sprung up considerably in the last 50 years, mainly down to one man, Prince Alfonso Hohenlohe, who discovered Marbella when his Rolls Royce broke down in the area. At the time it was inhabited by only 900 people but he fell in love with the area and opened the Marbella Club Hotel in 1954 and invited other noble European families to enjoy the luxury location.
Since then, Marbella has never looked back and is now a thriving tourist destination and it’s not hard to see why. In the area there are over 12 Beaches, with Water Sports and Beach Clubs, 50 Golf Courses, Designer Shops, Casinos, Bars, Top-Class Restaurants, Nightclubs, not to mention the First Class Hotels. There’s literally something for everyone. You can wear yourself out or do nothing more than lie by the pool and drop into it once in a while.
Then there is Old Town, which is based in and around Orange Square or ‘La Plaza de los Naranjos’ which is surrounded by three historical buildings: The 16th Century Town Hall, the old Governor’s House and the Chapel of Santiago. Here you’ll find something completely different, tightly knit cobbled streets, small boutiques, art galleries, some excellent restaurants, with local tapas bars and most importantly a true feeling of Old Spain
