Den Haag - the residence of the government, parliament and the royal court, the third largest and one of the oldest cities in the country. But first of all, The Hague is known for the fact that here is the Peace Palace, in which the International Court of Justice sits.

The Hague is much calmer and quieter than Amsterdam. The streets here are slightly wider, which gives the city a more continental look. In the city there are many typical buildings of the 17th century in the Renaissance style, as well as baroque and classical houses of the 18th century. In the vicinity there are surprisingly cute and eclectic houses of the 19th century - a vivid example of Art Nouveau style.

In the last 10 years, buildings of modern architecture began to appear in The Hague. For example, the Town Hall and the building of the central library from the American architect Richard Meyer, Snoeptrommel (popularly known as the "Candy Box", Candy Box) - a shopping center near the Town Hall.

How to get to The Hague

The Hague does not have its own airport, the nearest one is in Amsterdam (30-40 minutes by train, 40 km) and Rotterdam (25 minutes by car, 15 km).

But here there are two railway stations, which accept trains not only from the country, but also from abroad. The Den Haag Centraal railway station, which is 5 minutes walk from the center, is now being reconstructed - this is the largest railway station in the city. From here, trains run to Amsterdam (45 minutes), Utrecht (35 minutes), Groningen (2, 5 hours) and many other cities in the country, as well as to Cologne, Berlin, Frankfurt, Prague and Copenhagen (usually with a transfer in Utrecht) .

Another station is Den Haag HS (Hollands Spoor) - located 15 minutes walk from Centraal. From here, high-speed Thalys trains run to Antwerp, Brussels and Paris, as well as Rotterdam, Leiden, Delft.

Most tourists use the Den Haag Centraal station - it is located closer to the center, safer at night, there are many cafes and shops, and you can easily reach any part of the city, as there are tram and bus stops nearby.
