Den Haag is the third largest city in the Netherlands and the capital of the province of South Holland. It is located on the North Sea coast and is home to the Dutch government and the Dutch Royal Family.

It's one of the greenest cities in Europe, known for its beautiful parks, museums, and historical buildings. It is also a popular tourist destination, offering a variety of attractions, including the Peace Palace, the Mauritshuis art museum, and the Binnenhof.

The Hague is also buzzing with gastronomic areas fit for foodies that like quaint restaurants with Dutch specialties, atmospheric café’s, international bistro’s or even want to sample one of the 2 Michelin star restaurants.

And not many know that The Hague is the biggest city by the sea, as the whole west side of the Netherlands is bordered by the North Sea. Lined with endless beaches, ‘Kijkduin’ and ‘Scheveningen’ are located right next to The Hague, and house many trendy beach clubs and seaside restaurants.
