City: The Hague (Den Haag)

The Hague is the majestic center of the government of the Netherlands and the world capital of peace and justice. Unlike bustling Amsterdam, The Hague projects an atmosphere of stately elegance, with wide avenues, royal palaces and historic embassies. It is a city where decisions that affect the entire world are made in institutions such as the Peace Palace and the International Criminal Court. However, this seriousness is balanced by a vibrant cultural scene, world-class museums housing masterpieces by Vermeer and Mondrian, and the North Sea breeze in its lively coastal district of Scheveningen. It is a sophisticated, international and surprisingly green city.

Tips for Gastronomy

Eat a 'Haring' like a Dutchman

Look for a fish stall ('viskraam'). Order a 'broodje haring' (on a bun with onion and pickles) or, if you dare, a 'haring' on its own, which is eaten by holding it by the tail and tilting your head back.

Discover the Indonesian 'Rijsttafel'

Due to the colonial history of the Netherlands, Indonesian food is exceptional here. A 'rijsttafel' (rice table) is a feast of dozens of small dishes to share.
