OVERVIEW

The Hague is a large Dutch city with government buildings, diplomatic districts and residential neighbourhoods extending towards a sandy coast. Royal institutions, international courts and urban parks give it a distinctive role. The relationship between elegant avenues, international institutions and north sea beaches in a polished city balancing power with coastal life and city gives the wider destination a distinctive structure beyond its principal visitor area.

Museums, architecture and seaside walks provide substantial variety, while trams make movement between the centre and beach straightforward. The atmosphere is formal in some districts but relaxed along the coast. Spending time with both elegant avenues and international institutions and north sea beaches in a polished city balancing power with coastal life reveals more of the destination than focusing only on its best known sights.
