Hague

The Hague is the second largest city by population and size in the Netherlands.

 It is he who is the political center of the country. Here are the residence of the Dutch government and the Dutch parliament, as well as the royal court. It is in The Hague that Queen Beatrice lives. Thanks to this fact, the city was called the “royal city by the sea”. Indeed, the amazing landscape of the North Sea, on the coast of which the Hague is located, will appeal to any tourist and will definitely leave an unforgettable experience. But this city does not at all look like the government heart of the country. The Hague, which is considered one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands and Europe, has preserved the atmosphere of the past.

In the royal city by the sea, as well as throughout Holland, a large number of buildings from the 17th century renaissance style have been preserved. In addition, the city has a lot of architectural heritage of the XVIII century - houses in the classical and Baroque style. In the vicinity you can see the lovely little houses of the 19th century in the style of Art Nouveau. Only in the last 10 years, buildings in a modern style began to be built here.
