Holland’s Royal City has a rich history and tradition. It never fails to impress visitors with its elegant atmosphere, broad tree lined avenues, boutiques, castles and of course the Dutch Parliament. The Hague is a great place for a holiday. With its many swinging and cultural events is it a pleasure to visit The Hague (Den Haag), Scheveningen and Kijkduin any time of the year.
