The Hague is not a city of canals, but of grandeur. In the centre, you will find monumental buildings such as the Binnenhof, the Ridderzaal and, of course, the Noordeinde Palace, where the king has his working palace. Stroll along the Hofvijver and see how old and new balance each other out. Every stone here tells a story. From the stately facades on Lange Voorhout to the squares where court carriages once drove – it is a backdrop of history that can still be felt today.
Shopping enthusiasts will be in their element in the centre of The Hague. From the luxurious boutiques in the Passage – the oldest covered shopping arcade in the Netherlands – to popular chain stores in Venestraat, Spuistraat and Grote Marktstraat. And don't forget the Haagse Bluf and the hidden courtyards that are home to artisan shops and creative concept stores. Looking for something special? Then head to the trendy Zeeheldenkwartier just outside the city centre, or visit the local markets and speciality shops in The Hague for an authentic taste of the city.
