Welcome to Den Haag!
| The Hague: officially 's-Gravenhage, commonly Den Haag) is the third-largest city in the Netherlands after Amsterdam and Rotterdam, The Hague is the seat of government, but, somewhat anomalously, not the official capital of the Netherlands. City life concentrates around the Hofvijver and the Binnenhof, which is where the Parliament is located. The Hague is comprises two distinct beach towns. The main beach resort Scheveningen, in the northwestern part of the city, is a popular destination for tourists and young people. With 10 million visitors a year it is the most popular beach town in the Benelux. It's perhaps for this reason that many, even some Dutch people, mistakenly believe Scheveningen is a city in its own right. That is not the case: Scheveningen is one of The Hague's eight districts. Kijkduin, in the southwest, is The Hague's other beach resort. It is a lot smaller and attracts mainly local people. |

The Hague does not have a reputation for a bustling night life, most probably because it has no university and thus little student life. What night life there is centres around the three main squares in the city centre. If you are planning to visit The Hague, click here for Hotels The Hague or here for Car rental. |
