Haagse Bos

This attractive 17th-century palace is called the “House in the Woods” and has been the residence for successive generations of Dutch royals.

This forested estate contains monumental houses, a tearoom, playgrounds, canals and ponds filled with birds, an old Dutch garden and a fine Japanese garden.

As you wander through this former royal palace, challenge your mind with the beautiful and clever optical illusions created by artist M.C. Escher.

This block of avenues is home to some of The Hague’s finest old residences, a historic church, the art of Escher, antique markets and typical Dutch narrow houses.

Around The Hague’s central square you will discover fine dining, paintings by Dutch masters and the 13th-century castle that is the heart of Dutch political life.

You can browse the exhibits at Louwman Museum, a museum with a storied past, during your holiday in The Hague. Stroll along the area's seaside or experience its fascinating museums.
