Accessibility The Hague after the NATO Summit
On 24 to 25 June, The Hague hosted the Netherlands' first NATO Summit in World Forum.

Accessibility and safety measures
Closure Johan de Wittlaan
The NATO Summit affects the surrounding neighbourhoods, its residents and visitors. One of the most significant measures is the closure of the Johan de Wittlaan. This important traffic artery will be closed in both directions between the Eisenhowerlaan and the beginning of the President Kennedylaan, starting from 14 April to early August 2025.This will cause several traffic diversions and longer travel times.The shopping area, museums and (associated) catering establishments (such as Brasserie Berlage in the garden of the Kunstmuseum) in the Statenkwartier will remain accessible before and after the NATO summit. Find out more about all the measures, on this dedicated page.
