Travellers may know The Hague best for its beaches, monuments, and busy shopping area, but this city has more to offer than that. A lot more. As the political centre of the Netherlands, it has many artistic institutions and museums, as well as many friendly bars and restaurants. Let's go to the "green city by the sea." The Hague is the Netherlands' third-biggest city. Because it is on the coast, the city is very popular with beachgoers who like the sun, sand, sea, and all the comforts that come with them. But don't just think of The Hague as a beach town in the summer. Even in the off-season, the city is fun to visit thanks to its many cultural sites, well-known cafés and restaurants, and lively events. Plus, it's where the Dutch government is based and where the Royal Family lives, so there are many historical sites, stylish hotels, and even a few castles! Binnenhof is a beautiful group of houses that have been there for hundreds of years and is where the Dutch government is based. It's one of the oldest parliament houses still in use worldwide; some parts date back to the 1300s. As you walk along the Hofvijver pond, go to the Torentje and see if the lights are on. The Torentje is the Prime Minister's office and is a small circular tower. It might seem quiet there because the Binnenhof is currently doing much work on it. The Peace Palace is the most photographed building in The Hague. It's just a short walk away. The International Court of Justice is based here. It is the only peacekeeping body in the UN that is not in New York. The city's official name,' s-Gravenhage, has been home to the Royal Family for 400 years. If you go there, you might even see the king. It's also where our Royal Family has worked, including King Willem-Alexander, who is already king. The beautiful Noordeinde Palace is where the head of state works. Cool shops and art galleries surround it. If you look at Google Maps of The Hague, you'll immediately see it has a long shore. The beach has different parts, each with its feel and personality. The strange Zwarte Pad is a great place to hang out and party, while the busy Noordboulevard is home to the Pier, the Kurhaus Hotel, and many other beach bars, restaurants, and other sights. There are a lot of great restaurants, cafés, and clubs in The Hague. Start the night with a drink at 't Plein, the city's main square right in the middle. There are also many artistic sites in the city. If you're an art fan, you can spend a day at one of Amsterdam's famous museums, like the Mauritshuis or the Kunstmuseum, which means "Art Museum." Also, people who want to shop will have a great time. This city by the water has more stores than any other in the Netherlands, except for Rotterdam and Amsterdam. Take some time to walk down the cute side streets and look around the one-of-a-kind shops.
