A city rich in culture, it enjoys a pleasant location by the coast. In addition to embassies, the city houses many international institutions such as the Peace Palace. The Hague has a choice of attractions for young and old, a lively atmosphere, vast green parks, shops, restaurants, historic buildings and museums.
Between 1230 and 1280, a castle was built where the Binnenhof now stands in The Hague. Though it started off as a small hunting lodge, it was extended under successive counts, including Floris V. In the fourteenth century a settlement known as 's-Gravenhage (abbreviated to "Den Haag") grew up around the castle. Because of the court's presence, the settlement soon became a prosperous village and a modest centre of industry (textiles and beer brewing).
The Hague is still the heart of political power in the Netherlands. Over the years it has also acquired importance as an international political centre. Aside from the residence of the Queen, the government and the foreign embassies, it also boasts several international institutieons. The Hague has therefore justly been dubbed the judicial capital of the world.
It is certainly worth visiting the country's most famous seaside resort - Scheveningen, adjacent to The Hague. Along with its wide sandy beaches, it boasts a long promenade with shops, amusements and restaurants to suit all tastes and budgets. An array of themed restaurants are built on the sands in the summer months.
