The Hague, known as 'Den Haag' in Dutch, is located in the province of Zuid-Holland in the Netherlands. It is the third-largest city in the country and serves as the seat of the Dutch government, the parliament, and the Supreme Court. Unlike Amsterdam, The Hague is not the capital of the Netherlands; however, it plays a crucial role in the administrative and political landscape of the nation.
The city is famous for its historical and cultural significance, housing numerous international institutions, including the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court. Visitors can explore iconic landmarks such as the Binnenhof, the former royal palace, and the Peace Palace, which symbolizes the Netherlands' commitment to peace and diplomacy.
In addition to its political importance, The Hague boasts beautiful beaches, parks, and museums. The Scheveningen beach area is a popular destination for both locals and tourists, offering a vibrant seaside atmosphere. Art lovers can visit the Mauritshuis museum, which features masterpieces by Dutch artists like Vermeer and Rembrandt.
