Neighbourhood
Voorburg has the looks and feel of a village. It has a beautiful old and small city centre which has a few nice restaurants, bars and shops (fur funshopping!!! not the average but the nice stuff, fashion, but also beautiful toys, the best cheeses, a few excellent shops for buying wine...). We especially appreciate the bakery at 150 m. (fresh bread every morning!) and the wine specialist around the corner.
Voorburg is situated along the Vliet, a canal that connects Voorburg to Leiden, Delft and Rotterdam. The Vliet offers a scenic and safe biking route that gives you acces to all these cities, but also various nice pick nick spots, places to play etc. Voorburg is part of a bigger urban area that contains the city of The Hague as well. The Hague has lots of museums, more restaurants, bars and a seaside area called Scheveningen. The medieval 'Binnenhof' is where the Dutch prime minister has his office and where Dutch parliament meets, There you will also find the Mauritshuis, home to Vermeers' 'girl with the pearl earring'.
Nearest airport
Either Amsterdam or Rotterdam!
Getting Around
Shopping can be done by foot. There are a few shops just around the corner for bread, vegetables, meat etc. Approximately 1 km. away is the 'main street' of Voorburg with boutiques, some restaurants, a super market etc. The place is very well connected to public transportation with bus and tram stops within 10 mins. walking distance. We have traded our car before, but if you want you can really go everywhere by public transportation.

I am a mother with four children born between 2012 and 2020. We love to travel and to go out as much as possible when work and school allow it. We live in the region of The Hague. The cities of Leiden, The Hague, Delft and Rotterdam are close by and can be visited by bike or public transport (we are close to two major hubs). Amsterdam takes about 50 minutes by train.
When we are at home, we love to play board games, which is evident when you consider the sheer amount of games we have collected over the years. I also love reading (ask me about contemporary Dutch literature if you want to prepare before you go to the Netherlands) and I love knitting and sewing (especially for the kids).
We've had some positive experiences with home exchange, and I've been an active member in the couchsurfing community. I have met the sweetest people that way and look forward to sharing my home with other families. We prefer homes with lots of toys and space to play for our children. Feel free to try it, we are curious about lots of places :-)Of course we will take care of your house as if it were our own!
People Like Us is the world's most trusted home exchange community. We believe in sharing, trust, generosity, respect, communication, equality, cooperation, honesty, hospitality, friendship, flexibility and adventure. We take pride in our homes and we care about the environment in which we live: our village, city, country and our planet. We care about the ethos of home exchange and we do it because we love the experience and the friendships that it generates.
