What to do and see in Voorhout, South Holland Province: The Best Sights & Landmarks

June 10, 2021 Brain Ambrose

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.

Heilige Jacobus de Meerdere Church

Reviewed By 177bask - Amstelveen, The Netherlands

The rich ornamentation of this Roman Catholic Church is in great contrast to the much older protestant "Kloosterkerk" next to it.This 19th century church was the most expensive church build in that century in the Netherlands.Architect Pierre Cuypers used a rich set of colors and the church-spire is the highest in the Hague.Free entry daily 10-15hours.

Het Plein

Reviewed By royjava6 - The Hague, The Netherlands

The Square, Het Plein, is the just right spot in the center of The Hague. It is a meeting place, trendy, historical, political, cozy, busy, delicious, coolest view, in short it is just party time! Yes, it is also "see or be seen". Can even be conceited and somewhat ingenious, though that is the fun here. Just sit down and enjoy the show. And in the meantime have a wonderful time enjoying a cup of coffee, a savory or sweet snack, a lunch, and of course a look at! And know just around the corner are the historical buildings, department stores, boutiques and all young and old need to visit.

Hofvijver

Reviewed By Moonamuslim

Near to many sights, the "Hofvijver" is a wonderful place to take a little break when the weather is nice. With a view of the imposing old building on the other side - the original building dates from the 13th century. It was once a hunting lodge. Today it is the heart of Dutch democracy, the workplace of the Dutch Prime Minister, as well as the Dutch Senate and Parliament. Right next to it, the yellow building, the Mauritshuis Museum. In the background the skyscrapers ... It is definitely worth a short visit here!
