The Hague sights and sightseeing

A selection of The Hague sights. Must sees!

Het Binnenhof

Throughout the ages, ‘Het Binnenhof’ in The Hague has always been the centre of politics in the Netherlands, the place where affairs of state were discussed. Not only are the buildings themselves well worth seeing, but it was here that the most important events in Dutch history took place. Parliament still meets here, and thus the Binnenhof remains the centre of Dutch political life today.

Madurodam

Behind two typically Dutch dykes lies the world-famous miniature city Madurodam, a perfect place to get to know all the fascinating aspects of the Netherlands. The two restaurants, the playground, shop and lighthouse picnic area complete the park.

Omniversum

As a concept Omniversum is unique in the Netherlands. The IMAX films are projected onto the impressive 840m² giant dome. The visitor is submerged in a world of perception; the images are all around and due to the digital surround sound with thirty-six speakers and four subwoofers it is a true experience. Seated in a comfortable chair the visitor participates in exciting adventures in space and time.

Holland Casino

Holland Casino Scheveningen is one of twelve Holland Casino locations, the only legal casinos in the Netherlands. Holland Casino in Scheveningen has just undergone a total metamorphosis.
