The Hague Sightseeing
Sightseeing Overview
The New City clusters around the railway station. It has no visitor attractions but is a must for fans of 21st-century architecture.
The Old City centres around the Binnenhof with its Parliament complex and Hofvijver lake. Immediately opposite here is the Binnenstadt (Inner City), a tight cluster of mostly pedestrianised shopping streets and squares, full of restaurants and bars.
Running off north is the elegant street of Noordeinde, home to the royal palace. East of here (north of the lake) is The Hague's most elegant quarter focusing on Lange Voorhout with the small Amsterdam-like canal of Smidstwater and excellent shops and restaurants on and around Denneweg.
Most visitor attractions lie within the Binnenstadt with the notable exceptions of the Vredesepaleis and the Gemeente Museum, both a few minutes north by tram.
