Highlights
- Het Binnenhof - The literal birthplace of the Hague where each building serves as a living monument and a piece of art.
- Torentje Onderhoudsbedrijf - If a person lived in the Hague for more than a week
- there is a good chance they saw Dutch prime minister. We will test our luck and sneak into his working office if we can see him as well!
- Hotel Restaurant ‘t Goude Hooft - The oldest café/inn in the Netherlands (1423). Originally serving knights and travellers Goude Hooft has now shifted to regular citizens.
- Passage - First place in the Netherlands where shopping as we know it today came to be. Inspired by Parisian architecture is still as impressive as it used to be in the XIX century.
- Lange Voorhout 32A - The smallest house in the Hague. We should be careful not to miss this one. Only 183cm wide!
- Hotel Des Indes - You may know Netherlands as a humble place, but Hotel Des Indes will prove that the Hague is made from a different material. Shinning beauty which is not afraid of demonstrating its wealth.

Lovely - It was an interesting walk in the city centre with a guide. He told us different intriguing stories about the inhabitants of the area, showed some hidden architectural gems, explained the historical background of the buildings, and gave us some tips on where to have dinner or coffee. For me, the excursion lacked of the history of the city and the information about the Hague's role in the history of the Netherlands but I was late for the tour and, probably, I did not hear everything, and I am also keen on history.
