The Netherlands is a very small country and you can easily travel during your free time. For instance, it takes only 45 min to get from The Hague to Amsterdam. The biggest airport in the Netherlands (Schiphol) is only 15 min train ride from the city centre of Amsterdam and half an hour from the Hague. The Hague is one of the international centres for the UN and other international institutions. Here you could find the International Court of Justice, International Criminal Tribunal, International Organization for Migration and others.
