Itinerary
You will meet your guide here, next to the statue of the 'Father of the Fatherland' William of Orange. Who was he and what was his role in the Dutch revolt?
You will walk past our parliament complex and see the Knight's Hall. Our guide will tell you about the significance and history of this place. With some luck, you might see some of our ministers (or prime minister) walking by!
The Hofvijver lake is situated in front of the parliament building and the prime minister's office. You will learn about the significance of this place and some funny history.
The statue of Thorbecke next to the Hofvijver is quite interesting. This statue has to do with our democracy and the father of our constitution! You will hear more about it.
This is the Champs-Élysées of The Hague. Quite a classy street! You will pass by multiple embassies, an art museum, a famous hotel, the temporary senate building, a statue gallery of the Dutch heads of states and some more interesting (royal) buildings.
You will see the working palace of the Dutch king. Based on the flag, we can find out if he is currently in the country. Let's see!
We will see the Grote Kerk ("Big Church") of The Hague. It is quite an uncommon tower. And what is that stork doing on top of it? We'll also see the old town hall.
Our last stop before the museum: Another statue. This is the only head of government in the world that has been eaten by an angry mob! That sounds a bit weird, but you'll find out what happened.
See the famous Peace Palace from 1913, where the International Court of Justice is located.
You will visit the Mauritshuis museum together with our guide who will give you an introductory tour of some of the museum's highlights. Afterwards, you are free to stay longer.
