The Hague is the seat of the Crown (Queen Beatrix) and the seat of the Dutch Government. The city has a rich history and tradition. It never fails to impress visitors with its elegant atmosphere, broad tree lined avenues, boutiques, castles and of course the Dutch Parliament. With its many swinging and cultural events is it a pleasure to visit The Hague (Den Haag) and Kijkduin any time of the year.
