The Hague (Den Haag) is often called the political heart of the Netherlands — but it’s so much more than that. With its blend of royal palaces, international courts, seaside charm, and world-class art, The Hague is a must-see city best explored with a private guide who knows its many layers.
Your tour begins in the historic Binnenhof, the seat of the Dutch parliament. As your guide explains the origins of Dutch democracy, you’ll stand where politicians have debated for centuries. Nearby, you’ll visit the Ridderzaal (Knight’s Hall) and see the Prime Minister’s office — all housed in medieval buildings.
Next, head to the Mauritshuis Museum, home to masterpieces like Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring and Rembrandt’s Anatomy Lesson. Your guide will provide art historical context and help you appreciate the deeper stories behind the brushstrokes.
The Hague is also home to the Peace Palace, which hosts the International Court of Justice. Your guide will explain its role in global law and diplomacy — a unique aspect of this city compared to others in the Netherlands.
If you prefer a mix of city and sea, your guide can extend the tour to Scheveningen, The Hague’s beach district, where you can walk along the pier or stop for fresh seafood by the water.
This tour is perfect for travelers who want depth, elegance, and variety in one experience. Whether you’re into politics, art, or the sea breeze, The Hague has it all — and your private guide will make sure you don’t miss a thing.
