🥪✨ Intro Week Tradition: Lunch Together ✨🥪

So grab a sandwich, sit down at the table, and taste not only Dutch lunch — but the beginning of your student life. 🇳🇱✨

🏛️🌍 Scavenger Hunt Highlight: The City’s Epic Centre 🌍🏛️

Another key location during the Scavenger Hunt takes you to the epic centre of The Hague — the place where the city officially comes together.

This is where many of the important, formal things in life are arranged. Think registrations, official documents, and the practical side of living in a new city. It’s not just a building — it’s where your life in The Hague becomes official.

But there’s more. 👇

On the ground floor, you’ll find the International Centre The Hague. If you’re an international student, this is a place you definitely want to know about.

Here, you can get support with:

During the Scavenger Hunt, you’ll discover that student life isn’t only about fun and adventure — it’s also about learning how the city works and where to find support when you need it.

From royal palaces to city halls — you’re not just exploring The Hague.
You’re becoming part of it. 💛

👑✨ Scavenger Hunt Stop: A Royal Experience ✨👑

Think the Scavenger Hunt is just games and challenges? Think again.

One of the most special locations you’ll visit is a former royal palace, located at one of the most beautiful squares in The Hague: Lange Voorhout. 🌳

Picture this:
Historic, stately buildings.
Elegant architecture.
Long rows of impressive trees stretching across the square.

It’s the kind of place that makes you stop for a second and just take it all in.

And yes… those iconic trees? 🌳
Don’t ignore them. There’s a special assignment in the Scavenger Hunt app connected to them. Look closely. Work together. You might discover more than you expect. 👀

From underground vaults to royal squares — this isn’t just an introduction week. It’s your chance to experience the city in a way most people never do.
