The venue is not very large, the works are dense, and there are no particularly large works. In addition to the must-see treasures of the earthquake hall, many paintings are worth savoring and very worth it."Hague.Centrum1.4 km from downtownArt MuseumsHighlights: The Mauritshuis was originally a Dutch Renaissance residence. The collection includes Vermeers's "Delft's View", "Girl with a Pearl Earring", Rembrandt's famous work "Dr. Tour's Anatomy Lesson" and other masterpieces and works by Rubens. The collections in the museum will give you a good display of the characters, landscapes, customs and life of the Dutch Golden Age.Show Less - 5.34.6/5138 Reviewbased on 1473 reviews"The wish tree at the entrance of the Peace Palace is a bit Japanese style, very close to the concept of the international court, a more political attraction, maybe only people like me who have a certain age will come here."Scheveningen1.9 km from downtownLibrariesHighlights: Located on the outskirts of The Hague, the Peace Palace is a landmark building in The Hague and is home to the International Law Library and the International Law School. The Peace Palace was built between 1907 and 1913 to show its importance in settling disputes and maintaining world peace. Some of the gates, decorations and furniture in the Peace Palace were donated by various countries. The outer wall of the Peace Palace is brick red. It is a two-story palace-style building. The front facade consists of 9 arches. The Gothic towers on both sides are particularly conspicuous. The west tower is a taller building nearby, surrounded by green trees. Surrounded by peace and quiet. The vaulted hall on the ground floor is built in marble, decorated with golden reliefs, and the floor pattern is composed of cream and light blue marble. In the center of the main corridor in the middle of the hall is a stone statue of the goddess of justice, which was donated by the United States. Behind the stone statue are seven floor-to-ceiling windows inlaid with stained glass, which are more holy when the sun shines.Show Less

It has a beautiful spout and neatly opposed window design. From here, you can feel the solemn and simple spirit of perseverance. The Ridderzaal (Knights'Hall) in the inner courtyard of the Houses of Parliament is the heart of Parliament, a Gothic building with magnificent stained glass windows depicting the coat of arms of the Dutch town; particularly worthy Mention is made of the rose window with the coat of arms of the major Dutch families, with a heavy transomed roof and a structure in the shape of an overturned ship. This symbolizes the wooden head of an eavesdropper from a higher power, which can deter members of the assembly from lying. Every year on the third Tuesday of September, on Prinsjesdag, the day when Parliament is in session, the Dutch monarch arrives here in a golden carriage to deliver his throne speech. Formal receptions and inter-parliamentary meetings are also held here. Until 1992, it was the seat of the second house of the Dutch Parliament, the Dutch House of Commons. During the recess of the Congress, it will be open to visit, and the open part has two parliamentary halls and exhibition rooms.Show Less

No.1 of Family-friendly Attractions in HagueHighlights: Madurodam condenses the Netherlands into a tiny city. It has a real lighthouse, two huge dikes, and the Madurodam Lilliput of wavy buildings beckons and welcomes you. Famous Dutch landscapes such as the Cheese Market in Akma, the Peace Palace, the Royal Palace at Dam Square, and the houses along Amsterdam and the Delft Canal can all be seen in Lilliput. On the 4.5-kilometer-long railway, trains travel in all directions, windmills spin vigorously, and flat-bottomed boats shuttle back and forth on the canal. All replicas are built on a 25:1 scale to mimic the real thing and displayed in beautiful gardens. Indoor activities include the sand sculpture performance of "Sand World", which shows the history of the Netherlands and the sea. In winter, when the sunshine weakens, more than 50,000 street lamps will light up on the streets of Lilliput, turning it into a dreamy fairy tale country.Show Less - 4.54.5/526 ReviewFree

It’s just that the big square is not crowded."Hague.Centrum1.5 km from downtownSquaresHighlights: The Plein Square in The Hague is the center of the city of The Hague, next to the parliament building and government buildings, and to the north are bars and cafés.Show Less - 4.54.3/525 Reviewbased on 1657 reviews"The Hague Art Museum ｜ not only has the authentic masterpiece, but also the Paris Family Special Exhibition 📍 The Hague City Art Museum in The Hague has long held many masterpieces, such as Monet, the Impressionist representative, Van Gogh, the modern art master, Picasso, et al. paintings, sculptures, architectural models. 🎨 Most of the masterpieces are displayed in regular pavilions, which are divided by different themes, which are very interesting. The Hague City Art Museum, which is not particularly large, is much easier to visit than the National Art Museum, and is expected to be completed in three to four hours. 🏣 Of course, in addition to the regular pavilion, there will be several special exhibition areas here, such as this special exhibition in Paris from September 24 until March 5 next year. 🎥 This special exhibition shows the life of the founder of the Parisian family, most of his manuscripts, some hand-made tools, a large number of ready-to-wear, and some video archives. From the beginning, you can have a very comprehensive understanding of the brand and its founder, which is suitable for fans of the brand and students of clothing design majors to visit. 🔖 The Hague Municipal Museum needs to purchase tickets in advance, ordinary tickets are 16 euros, student tickets are 12.5 euros, and the museum card can be used to swipe the card to enter (but it still takes an online appointment). After coming out of the Hague Railway Station, you can take the tram directly."Scheveningen2.6 km from downtownMuseumsArt MuseumsHighlights: The Stedelijk Museum in The Hague has many works of Piet Mondrian in the world, and the most famous is the abstract work "Dance of Victory".

You can't usually go in, you can only look outside, there is a peace fire outside, there are representatives of all countries stone"Scheveningen4.2 km from downtownMilitary SitesHighlights: The International Court of War Criminals is located in The Hague, Netherlands, or ICC for short, and was established by the Treaty of Rome. The court was not far from the coast, in an open wood. The building with the dark red exterior wall is particularly eye-catching against the blue sky, and the bell tower standing tall on the left is in sharp contrast with the two-story sloping roof next to it. There is a wide lawn in front of the court building. At the end of the lawn is a long row of carved iron fences. The surrounding of the building is quiet and peaceful.Show Less
