The Hague Further Distractions

Panorama Mesdag
This extraordinary huge 360-degree painting-in-the-round (measuring 120m by 14m), was completed in 1881 and shows Scheveningen as it was then, with its trompe-l'oeil effect enhanced by a sloping foreground of real sand dunes complete with grasses and seaside flotsam.

Scheveningen
The Hague's seaside suburb is a 15-minute tram ride from the centre of town and is worth a visit in season not only for its miles of sands, bustling cafes and busy nightlife, but all-year-round attractions such as the Sculptures by the Sea Museum and Sea Life.
