10 Points of Interest & Landmarks in The Hague That You Shouldn't Miss

February 9, 2022 Augustus Redeker

In a quirky Dutch-ism, Amsterdam may be the official capital of the Netherlands, but it’s The Hague (Den Haag) where the government sits (along with several international courts, for which the city’s best known). Cosmopolitan and cultured, The Hague is Holland’s third-largest town, with just under 500,000 people. Conveniently, the beach resort of Scheveningen is part of The Hague, and en route lies the family-friendly Madurodam, a fascinating 1/25 miniature display of a fictitious Dutch city.

Nationaal Monument Oranjehotel

The Oranjehotel was the nickname for the Scheveningen prison during the Second World War. Here, the Germans detained over 25000 people for interrogation and prosecution. Often, the reason was that they were involved with the resistance. During a visit to the Oranjehotel, you will get to hear the impressive stories of the prisoners. It makes you realise just how vulnerable freedom really is.

Reviewed By 647nataljam - The Hague, The Netherlands

These windmills are dated back to the 17th century, originally there were four of them but the fourth one got demolished around 200 years ago. One of the three remaining windmills burned down beg 20th century as a result of lightning stroke, luckily, it has been restored. Nowadays, well renovated and restored these three mills are inhabited thus are not open to the public. Nevertheless-beautiful, unique, non tourist hidden gem, worth admiration while biking or hiking.
