See the best of The Hague on this two-day whistle-stop tour.
Almost 900 years of history have conspired to make The Hague (Dutch: Den Haag) the vibrant, historic city it is today. Located in the province of South Holland, it's the country's third-most populated city, behind Amsterdam and Rotterdam; it's frequently mistaken for the nation's capital due to its status as the center of Dutch politics and international law - a circumstance that translates to unique attractions for visitors, such as the Binnenhof and Peace Palace (below).
In addition, the city is home to dozens of museums on all themes: art from Dutch Masters to contemporary artists, history, literature - even classic cars.
But visitors don't always allot much time to the Netherlands' third city, and miss out on some of the country's most special attractions. This 48-hour tour showcases the best of The Hague in a two-day itinerary - or, if you're only in town for one day, the first day includes all the most crucial must-sees.
Get There
For visitors already in Amsterdam, The Hague Central Station (CS) can be reached in less than an hour from Amsterdam Central Station; multiple express (Intercity) trains per hour connect the two cities.
Upon arrival, visitors can find maps at the Bruna newsstand in the station, or opt for the public maps conveniently posted at various spots in the city center.
The city also has its own dedicated airport, Rotterdam The Hague Airport, at less than an hour's distance by public transit. Find travel directions from Rotterdam Airport to The Hague CS.
The station is also a Eurolines (international bus) stop.
