I love The Hague! It has all the best things for a quick gateway. I definitely recommend a visit to the Royal Picture Gallery Mauritshuis. The large art collection by Dutch painters such as Johannes Vermeer, Rembrandt van Rijn, Paulus Potter or Jan Steen really is something else! After a great portion of art, I head to the miniature city Madurodam to learn more about traditional Dutch buildings and landmarks dotted around the country.

One of the things I love about The Hague is that it’s by the sea. There is nothing better than sight- seeing during the day and then chilling out in one of many beach fronted bars where, you can even take the sofas from a bar and put them on the sand and listen to the rustle of the sea. Or if you still have some energy, have a long stroll along the coast to the main pier for a fresh fish dinner in one of the many nice restaurants. If you fancy something exotic for supper, The Hague is a perfect location and even the biggest food fans will be spoilt for choice.

Another place to visit is the Binnenhof – the centre of Holland’s political life and the official seat of government. Plus shopping in The Hague is world- class! The city has the most amazing shops: from affordable superstores to exclusive designer boutiques. Shop till you drop and enjoy The Hague! That’s what I do.
