The HagueThe Hague is a very unique city. It has a beautiful history and it truly is a city of diversity. When you are looking for a city with character, history and a wide variety of museums, galleries, shops and little restaurants, you are at the right address.
Besides this, The Hague is also the city where the seat of the Dutch government and parliament are situated together with the Supreme Court and the Council of State. Also, most foreign embassies in the Netherlands and over 150 international organisations are located in the city, including the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court. The Hague is also the third largest city in the Netherlands and the capital of the province of South Holland. The Hague as a tourist destination With a multitude of cafés, boutiques and a delectable culinary scene, the city centre is the perfect place to start your tour of The Hague. Beautiful historic buildings, churches and mansions, canals and quaint little houses are all to be found here too. You can take a relaxing stroll through the centre and before you know it, you will find that you have stumbled upon a picturesque little alley, canal or some other unique building. One good tip though is that when you are exploring the city: do not forget to look up! You will find the quaintest façades and rooftops and it would be a waste to miss out on all the 'good stuff'. Further, one can find an abundance of activities to do in The Hague, like visiting Madurodam (a miniature city), the beach at Scheveningen or at Kijkdijn, visiting one of the many museums or art galleries, go for a walk in one of the public parks or simply wander around town and savour the beauty of our city.
