Tour description
The Hague is the stately seat of the Dutch government, home to the royal family and the international courts that give it the title 'city of peace and justice'. Elegant and green, with grand avenues and a medieval core beside the North Sea, it wears its importance with quiet dignity. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its royal and political heart.
You will explore the historic Binnenhof, one of the oldest parliament complexes in the world, stroll past royal palaces and grand ministries, and hear about the diplomats and monarchs who shaped the city. Refined, spacious and full of history, The Hague rewards the unhurried walker.
