Attractions.

The Binnenhof has been the seat of the country’s government. It used to be a castle and is surrounded by the Court Pond in whose waters, the old buildings are mirrored. Entering the Binnenhof, you find yourself in a medieval enclosed courtyard, surrounded by architecture from the 13th to the 19th Centuries. In the middle stands the Knight's Hall, used for ceremonial purposes. The Lange Voorhout is a large tree-lined square, bordered on all sides by 18th Century townhouses. The large Baroque building on the west side is the home to the Dutch supreme court. The square is especially pretty in spring when its crocuses are in bloom. Every summer, the square hosts The Hague Sculpture, a free outdoor sculpture exhibition to be enjoyed on Netherlands vacations. 

Activity, night and day, centres on the two main squares of the city, the Plein which has several large sidewalk cafés, where often politicians may be spotted and the Grote Markt ("Great Market") which is always full of chairs and tables, summer or winter. The Denneweg is a street with antique and specialty shops. It also has a number of good pubs and restaurants. The Paleis Noordeinde is the royal palace that Queen Beatrix uses as her office. It is not open to the public. The gardens on the opposite side of the palace are accessible to the public for walking.  

There are a number of museums in The Hague. The most notable is the Mauritshuis which has an exceptional collection of paintings by Dutch masters such as Vermeer, Rembrandt and van Rijn. Housed in a 17th Century palace, it includes Johannes Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring and View of Delft. The Bredius Museum contains a private collection of 19th Century art as well as drawings, porcelain and crafted silver. The Museum de Gevangenpoort was converted from a prison into a museum with a collection of medieval torture instruments. The Escher Museum is dedicated to the famous Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher with displays of prints, sketches and archive material showing how he progressed from realistic pictures to his later works of optical illusion and geometrical patterns. The Panorama Mesdag is a cylindrical painting dating back to1881 painted by the artist Hendrick Mesdag. It is a panoramic painting of The Hague, the sea and the nearby resort of Scheveningen. It is 14 metres/45 feet high and 120 metres/390 feet in circumference.

The Gemeentemuseum has a small collection of modern art including works by Van Gogh, Kandinsky, Monet, Sisley, Degas and Bacon plus a large collection of works by Mondrian, a selection of paintings of The Hague School and a collection of fashion, musical instruments and decorative arts. Not really a museum, the open-air Madurodam is a miniature city with a selection of Dutch architecture, ranging from Amsterdam's canals and the church spires from Utrecht to modern architecture from Rotterdam. It also has an airport, a seaport, beaches, streetcars and trains running through the entire model town, so a wrap-up of Netherlands tours.

The Hague Travel Guide

Last Updated: August 9, 2023

While that can make it a “stuffy” place to visit, the city has fascinating architecture, an amazing array of parks and museums, a wide variety of restaurants, and even a beach that is hugely popular in the summer (head there for some tasty seafood restaurants on the boardwalk). The Hague may not be as cool as youthful Amsterdam , but it is no less interesting.

This travel guide to The Hague can help you plan your trip, save money, and make the most of your time in this underappreciated destination.

Top 5 Things to See and Do in the Hague

1. Walk around the Plein

This square, which was once home to a fruit and vegetable garden, is filled with medieval and historic buildings, like the Binnenhof (meeting place of the States General of the Netherlands), the House of Representatives, and the Mauritshuis art museum. In the evenings, it gets bustling, with people meeting in the restaurants, bars, and shops that line the north side of the square. Later on, those same venues transform into bars and clubs, making the Plein one of the most popular nightlife scenes in the city.

2. Tour Mauritshuis

Located in the center of The Hague, this small museum is home to an impressive collection of works by artists like Vermeer, Rembrandt, and Andy Warhol, among others. It’s not a massive gallery so you can see everything in about an hour. The museum is actually split in two: the Mauritshuis is located in a city palace on the Plein while the nearby Prince William V Gallery is just down the street at the Buitenhof (more on it below). Admission is 17.50 EUR and includes entry to both locations.

3. Visit the Binnenhof

The Binnenhof is where the Dutch government has resided since 1446. It’s also where the Dutch throne is located and where the monarchy delivers its speech to parliament every year (the Netherlands has been an independent monarchy since 1815). Among the ancient buildings, there’s an old Neogothic fountain in the main square, a Dutch equestrian statue of King William II from around 1600, and an artificial pond that dates to the late 13th century. A tour is a good way to learn about the inner workings of the Netherlands government and politics. They’re run by ProDemos and include an overview of the history of the complex and its current renovation as well as an overview of the Dutch political system. Tours cost 5 EUR.

4. Enjoy the beach

The Hague is located right on the North Sea. During the summer, the beach — with its 11 kilometers of coastline — is a cheap and popular thing to do for locals and tourists alike. Scheveningen Beach is the most popular though it’s always crowded so get there early to find a good spot (there are plenty of great restaurants nearby too as well as De Pier, a pleasure pier with a Ferris wheel and bungee jumping, among other things). Zandmotor and Strandslag 12 are also very striking beaches although there aren’t as many restaurant options there.

5. See Madurodam

Open in the 1950s, this interactive miniature park showcases a miniature version of Holland, with exhibitions ranging from Amsterdam’s canals and church spires from Utrecht and Den Bosch to modern architecture from Rotterdam and the enormous Delta works that protect the country (the Delta works are structures that protect the low-lying country from floods). There are tons of activities here, such as an interactive soccer showcase, a place to take 3D selfies, and a cheese themed exhibit. Admission is 17 EUR.

Other Things to See and Do in The Hague

1. shop along denneweg.

This is one of the oldest streets in The Hague and many of its buildings date back to the 18th century. Because the Denneweg has been a shopping street for centuries, many of the shops sell antiques. In the summer, there is an open-air antique and book market every Thursday and Sunday. Although some of the restaurants in this area are pretty upscale, it’s worth a visit to browse and window shop.

2. Relax in Westbroekpark

If you want to get away from the touristy parts of the city, come to this serene park, which has over 20,000 types of roses that bloom from June through November (there are over 300 different types of roses here). Designed in the 1920s, the park is popular with people of all ages and there are a few cafes nearby where you can grab a drink or snack. For a few euros, you can rent a rowboat and paddle around the small lake.

3. Explore the Art Museum

If you’re an art lover, don’t miss the Kunstmuseum Den Haag. It contains some of the early works of Picasso, Monet, and van Gogh, but it’s best known for its collection of Dutch artists, including van Gogh and Piet Mondriaan. The museum also has one of the largest collections of the iconic Dutch Delftware (pottery objects like plates, figurines, vases, etc.) in a permanent exhibition highlighting the Dutch “Golden Age” (an era that spanned from 1588-1672). Admission is 16 EUR.

4. Tour the Museum de Gevangenpoort

Originally an entrance gate to the castle of the Counts of Holland, from the 15th century to the 19th century, this building operated as a prison. Opened in 1882, you can walk through and learn about medieval torture practices as well as the types of punishment for different crimes committed in Medieval Holland. It’s right next door to the Prince William V Gallery and admission is 15 EUR.

5. Stroll through the Japanese garden

Originally designed and constructed during the 1870s, this Japanese garden includes a tea house, beautiful rocks laid out in manicured areas, Japanese lanterns and statues, and plenty of idyllic pathways lined by flowers. Located in Clingendael Park, there are clear pathways through the garden to keep the exotic and immaculate landscape safe. Admission is free though it’s only open a few weeks per year so check the website in advance before you go.

6. Visit the Peace Palace

Home to the International Court of Justice (the judicial body of the United Nations), this Palace is a working court. Its visitor center provides an important look into the building and its role in history (it investigates genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and other serious international crimes). There is a video and audio tour through the exhibition space, which includes information on the judicial bodies that work in the Peace Palace, as well as the history of the courts and their vital role in international affairs. It’s super informative as this isn’t really a topic most people learn about in school. Admission is free and guided tours cost 15 EUR.

7. Check out the Escher Museum

Born in 1898, M. C. Escher was a Dutch graphic artist who made mathematically inspired woodcuts and lithographs. His work became famous throughout the world and this museum is dedicated to his life and work. It features over 150 prints, highlighting his graphic work, optical illusions, and mathematical tessellations (art made with repeating shapes). It’s an insightful museum about an artist most people aren’t familiar with. Admission is 11 EUR.

7. Visit the Ridderzaal Knights Hall

Originally built between the 13th and 14th centuries, this castle once belonged to the Earls of Holland. Part of the Binnenhof building complex, the Ridderzaal Knights Hall boasts a beautiful interior made of wood carvings reminiscent of Dutch shipbuilding (a staple of the economy for centuries). The hall is used annually for royal events and important parliament speeches by the monarchy. Guided tours are necessary to visit and cost 5 EUR.

9. See contemporary sculptures

Located along the seaside, the Beelden aan Zee museum has a subterranean exhibition space with a large sculpture garden. The sculpture museum exhibits contemporary international and national artists and is one of the only museums in the Netherlands that solely shows sculpture. The exhibition space is really impressive, with works from the likes of Mark Quinn and Atelier van Lieshout, and it’s an easy cultural activity to take advantage of near the beach. It’s 17.50 EUR to visit.

10. Hang out in the Malieveld

A large field and park in the city center of The Hague, Malieveld is the busiest spot in the city — especially in the summer. Because there are many government buildings in The Hague (despite Amsterdam being the official capital), there are often protests and demonstrations taking place in the city center and, specifically, at Malieveld. It’s opposite the main train station, so it’s worth checking out to see if there are any special demonstrations or events you might be interested in. From the field, you can easily walk (or cycle) along several walking paths through the forested section at the northern edge.

11. Visit the Prince William V Gallery

Prince William V of Oranje-Nassau, the last stadtholder (a title similar to a Duke) in the Netherlands, built this room in 1774 to show off his priceless paintings. The walls were entirely covered in artwork, including the likes of The Garden of Eden with the Fall of Man by Peter Paul Rubens. Today, there are more than 150 masterpieces on display, enhanced by the room’s opulent decor of silk wall coverings and crystal chandeliers. It’s 5.50 EUR to visit just this gallery or you can purchase a 17.50 EUR ticket that also provides access to the Mauritshuis.

The Hague Travel Costs

Hostel prices – Hostel dorms with 6-8 beds cost 30-40 EUR per night in the summer while private rooms cost at least 70 EUR. In the off-season, prices are a little cheaper, with dorms starting from 26 EUR per night.

There aren’t a lot of options for hostels in the city (no matter the season) so it’s best to book in advance, especially during the peak summer months.

For those traveling with a tent, camping is available outside the city. A basic tent plot without electricity for one person costs at least 15 EUR per night.

Budget hotel prices – Budget two-star hotels that are centrally located cost 65-90 EUR per night. Prices start at around 90 EUR in the summer months. Expect basic amenities like free Wi-Fi, private bathrooms, and air conditioning.

On Airbnb, you can find private rooms from 40 EUR per night although they average around 70 EUR. Entire homes/apartments start at around 100 EUR. expect to pay double (or more) if you don’t book in advance.

Food – Dutch cuisine typically involves lots of vegetables, bread, and cheeses (gouda originated here). Meat, while historically not as prominent, is a staple of dinner meals. Breakfast and lunch usually involve open-faced sandwiches, often with cheeses and cold cuts. Dinners are very much a “meat and potatoes” meal, with meat stews and smoked sausage being two popular choices. For those with a sweet tooth, the stroopwafel (a waffle cookie with a syrup filling) is the go-to choice.

Falafel and shawarma shops are your best bet for cheap food. Quick meals here cost around 5-10 EUR. Fast food or places like Maoz cost around 10 EUR. A combo meal at McDonald’s is around 9 EUR.

There are a lot of international food options in The Hague because of the international workers and government buildings in the city so it’s one of the better cities to eat out in if you want to splurge.

A three-course meal at a mid-range restaurant serving traditional cuisine costs at least 35 EUR with a drink. If you really want to splash out, expect to pay at least 30 EUR per entree at some of the city’s finer establishments.

Beer costs around 5 EUR while a latte/cappuccino is 2.90 EUR. Bottled water costs 2.30 EUR.

If you cook your own meals, expect to pay around 55-65 EUR per week for groceries including pasta, rice, vegetables, and some meat.

Backpacking The Hague Suggested Budgets

If you’re backpacking The Hague, expect to spend about 65 EUR per day. This budget covers staying in a hostel dorm, taking public transit, cooking all of your meals, limiting your drinking, and doing free activities like lounging in the parks and hitting the beach. If you plan on drinking, add 10-20 EUR per day to your budget.

On a mid-range budget of about 170 EUR per day, you can stay in a private hostel room or Airbnb, eat out for most meals, enjoy a few drinks, take the occasional taxi to get around, and do paid activities like visiting the museums and galleries.

On a “luxury” budget of 360 EUR or more per day, you can stay in a hotel, eat out as much as you want, drink more, rent a bike or a car to get around, and do whatever tours and activities you want. This is just the ground floor for luxury though. The sky is the limit!

You can use the chart below to get some idea of how much you need to budget daily, depending on your travel style. Keep in mind these are daily averages — some days you’ll spend more, some days you’ll spend less (you might spend less every day). We just want to give you a general idea of how to make your budget. Prices are in EUR.

The Hague Travel Guide: Money-Saving Tips

The Hague can be expensive to visit, especially considering the fact it’s a government city with many professional and business visitors from around the world. Fortunately, a visit doesn’t have to break the bank. Here are some ways to save money in The Hague:

• Rent a bicycle – Bikes are a big part of Dutch culture and most people use them to get around. You can rent a bike starting at 8.50 EUR for a full day but you need to shop around (try Ga Den Haag). Another option is Donkey Republic, a bike-share app that has stations all over the city. You can get a bike with them for around 3.30 EUR per hour or 10-13 EUR per day.
• Get the Museumkaart (Museum Card) – Good for one month for non-residents, this card gets you into several museums in the Netherlands for only 64.90 EUR. With the Museum Card, you get access to more than 400 museums throughout the Netherlands, though the temporary card available to tourists can only be used at a maximum of 5 different museums. Depending upon your trip through The Netherlands, though, it can save you money if you choose which museums to use it at wisely.
• Stay with a local – Couchsurfing is a service that lets travelers stay with locals for free. Since a lot of travelers use this service, make your requests for hosts early. It’s a great way to meet locals and get insider tips and advice!
• Cook your own meals – Dutch food isn’t going to win any culinary awards so head to the supermarket and buy groceries instead of eating out. It’s not glamorous but it saves a ton.
• Take a free walking/bicycle tour – If you want an overview of the city, take one of the free walking tours via The Hague Greeters. This is a network of local volunteers who can show you around their city. You can request a walking or bike tour, just be sure to plan one at least two weeks in advance through their site as advanced notice is required. They don’t accept tips but do welcome donations to their head office.
• Save money on rideshares – Uber is way cheaper than taxis and is the best way to get around a city if you don’t want to wait for a bus or pay for a taxi.
• Bring a water bottle – The tap water here is safe to drink so bring a reusable water bottle to save money and reduce your plastic use. LifeStraw is my go-to brand as their bottles have built-in filters to ensure your water is always clean and safe.

Where to Stay in The Hague

The Hague doesn’t have as many hostels as other Dutch cities, but there are still a handful of budget-friendly places to choose from. Here are my suggested places to stay in The Hague:

• Pink Flamingo Hostel
• Stayokay Den Haag

How to Get Around The Hague

Public transport – The Hague has a reliable public transit system of buses and tram lines that connects the whole city. The buses and trams run on a network called HTM, while the light rail network is part of RandstadRail. You can buy a day pass for 7.10 EUR or a ticket that’s valid for two hours for 4 EUR.

There is also the tourist day ticket, which lets you travel on all trams, buses, metros, and water buses in the province of Zuid-Holland for 14.50 EUR per day.

Cash fares are not accepted on public transit; you need a reloadable or single-use transit card, which are available at stations and kiosks all over the city.

Bicycle – Like other cities in the Netherlands, cycling is one of the most popular ways to get around. You can rent bikes starting at 8.50 EUR per day (though most places also require a deposit). Donkey Republic is a bike-sharing app that has stations all over the city. You can get a bike with them for around 3.30 EUR per hour or 10-13 EUR per day.

Taxi – Taxis cost a minimum of 3.20 EUR and charge 2.40 EUR per kilometer. They add up quickly so skip them if you’re on a budget.

Ridesharing – Uber is available in The Hague but since public transportation goes everywhere, including the beach, you shouldn’t need them.

When to Go to The Hague

The Hague’s peak season is in the summer, from June to August. This is when the city is liveliest and busiest (though it’s not nearly as busy as Amsterdam). Expect daily highs around 21°C (70°F).

In June, the city comes alive with the annual Holland Festival, an international performing arts festival that takes place across The Hague, Rotterdam, and Utrecht. Expect lots of street art performers and fringe shows during the same period. It’s a fun time to visit if you’re interested in art and culture, just be sure to book your accommodation in advance as the city fills up.

Visiting during the shoulder season (late spring/early fall) offers temperate weather with fewer crowds, making it an ideal time to visit (though you’ll miss out on the beach). You may get a bit of rain though so bring a rain jacket.

The average daily temperature in the winter is 4°C (40°F). I’d avoid visiting during this time unless you’re just planning to go museum hopping as there isn’t nearly as much to do in the winter.

How to Stay Safe in the Hague

The Hague is an incredibly safe place to backpack and travel. Violent crime is rare, however, pickpocketing can occur on public transit and at the beach so keep your belongings close and your valuables out of sight just to be safe.

Solo female travelers should generally feel safe here, however, the standard precautions apply (never leave your drink unattended at the bar, never walk home alone intoxicated, etc.).

There are also a few common scams to be aware of as well, such as people trying to sell you public transit tickets that have already been used. Additionally, be wary of purchasing a really cheap bike from someone off the street as it likely means it’s been stolen. You can read about common travel scams to avoid here .

If you experience an emergency, dial 112 for assistance.

The most important piece of advice I can offer is to purchase good travel insurance. Travel insurance protects you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It’s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I’ve had to use it many times in the past.

China slowdown spurs calls for stimulus before it’s too late.

(Bloomberg) -- China’s economy lost momentum in August as activity cooled across the board, pointing to mounting risks to achieving the government’s annual growth target.

Measures of factory output, consumption and investment all slowed more than economists had forecast, while jobless rate unexpectedly rose to a six-month high, official figures showed Saturday.

The broad weakening darkened the growth outlook for the world’s second-largest economy, fueling calls for a more aggressive policy response with just a few months left before the end of the year.

“The August data basically rules out the chance to attain the official target of 5% growth in 2024, unless the top leadership is willing to launch a bazooka stimulus package,” said Raymond Yeung, chief economist for greater China at Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd.

Home prices fell at the fastest pace since 2014, reflecting weak confidence that’s weighing on demand and threatening to draw China into a deflationary spiral. A string of rate cuts has done little to stimulate borrowing, indicating anemic consumer and business sentiment.

The data adds up to a gloomy picture that gives authorities reason to take more forceful steps to put growth back on track before it’s too late.

“As we are already toward the tail-end of the third quarter, time is running low for policymakers to introduce measures to buoy the economy amid numerous headwinds,” Lynn Song, chief economist for Greater China at ING Bank NV, wrote in a note.

Even before Saturday’s release, a vast majority of global banks including JPMorgan Chase & Co. already expected China’s GDP to grow at the lower end of Beijing’s goal target. Economists have called for authorities to do more to avert falling into stagnation akin to Japan’s “lost decades.”

The downbeat data may just drive home their point, showing even the more resilient part of the Chinese economy is losing traction.

Industrial output expanded at a slower rate than economists had expected, extending a weakening streak to the fourth month, the longest stretch since September 2021.

That suggests the main driver of the Chinese economy this year — bolstered by exports and government support — is losing steam. More challenges may yet arise as trade tensions intensify over complaints about Chinese overcapacity by the US and other major partners.

“If external demand can stay resilient for a little longer we could see some resilience, but given incoming tariffs and slowing global momentum we are erring on the side of caution,” ING’s Song said.

Song also warned the auto sector may “move from a tailwind to a headwind” given that the volume of car output fell 2.3% in August compared to the same period last year.

What Bloomberg Economics Says...

China’s August activity data sound a loud alarm about deepening weakness in the economy. Production and consumption (proxied by retail sales) slowed more than expected. Fixed asset investment – a key lever for policy support — also lost speed. Against a backdrop of slack credit, the data raise concerns about weakness extending into year-end unless stimulus is turned up sharply.

— Chang Shu, Chief Asia Economist, and David Qu, Economist

While state capital-driven investment has been slowing, the deterioration in the private sector was even worse. Private investment fell 0.2% on year in the January-August period, registering its first decline this year, data showed.

The National Bureau of Statistics acknowledged the challenging external environment and insufficient demand at home in a press conference after the release. Its spokesperson Liu Aihua also cited fresh college graduates as a reason for the uptick in the urban unemployment rate in August.

The People’s Bank of China on Friday indicated it will step up its fight against deflation and prepare additional policies to revive the economy, in a rare statement accompanying the release of credit data.

The day before, President Xi Jinping urged government officials to “conscientiously implement” existing economic policies in the rest of the year to achieve full-year economic and social development goals.

The output data so far in the third quarter suggests gross domestic product will expand at 4.6%-4.7% for the period, said Jacqueline Rong, chief China economist at BNP Paribas SA. That’d indicate economic growth may struggle to pick up from the last quarter, which was the slowest since March 2023.

She said the slowdown in activity will probably prompt the government to take some more supportive measures, but she expects no aggressive steps until policymakers meet at the Central Economic Work Conference in December.

Highlights of China’s economic activity data:

Industrial output rose 4.5% in August from a year ago, down from 5.1% in the previous month and below economists’ median forecast of 4.7%

Retail sales increased 2.1%, slowing from July’s 2.7% and missing projection of 2.5%

Fixed-asset investment gained 3.4% on year in the January-August period, down from the 3.6% growth in the first seven months. Economists had forecast a 3.5% expansion

Property investment fell 10.2% in the period, unchanged from July and slightly worse than prediction of a 10% drop

The surveyed unemployment rate in urban areas climbed to 5.3%, up from 5.2% in July and the highest since February

Economists widely expect PBOC to ease monetary policy in the coming weeks, including by reducing the amount of cash lenders must keep in reserve. The central bank could also lower the interest rate on policy loans to reduce banks’ funding cost.

“With confidence low and deflation risk significant, the kind of monetary policy action the PBOC would contemplate is unlikely to make a substantial difference,” said Louis Kuijs, chief Asia-Pacific economist at S&P Global Ratings. “Fiscal policy stimulus would be more appropriate and effective.”
