Things to do in The Hague, South Holland Province: The Best Government Buildings
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.

Easy walking distance from the centre and has an interesting free exhibition. Tours of the Palace and gardens are guided only. Hang a wish on the 'peace tree'.

The inner court area is free to enter and a cool place to walk around and look at the buildings. Around the holidays, they have a light show projected on to the parliament building and it's super cool to watch.

Arrived with 2 children to find a nice station which was easy to navigate. Staff friendly and helped with directions to our train. Reasonably priced return tickets to Amsterdam.
