Overview

Take a self-guided audio tour through The Hague - the political heart of The Netherlands. Explore elegant streets filled with powerful buildings, from royal palaces to Het Torentje (the Prime Minister's office), brimming with stories. This audio tour takes you through the city's historical center, pointing out its most interesting facets and share the (sometimes tall) tales behind them. Starting at Plein square, you'll head to Binnenhof, which houses the national government, and the Mauritshuis Museum. Stroll along the Dutch Baroque buildings on Lange Voorhout Street and hear about Hotel des Indes whose guests include Winston Churchill, three former US presidents, Michael Jackson, and Prince. Discover why the city is called The Hague, learn about the only time a country has eaten their head of government, and find out why images of storks are everywhere. You might even bump into a minister or two! Afterwards, you'll know more about The Hague than the average Dutchie!

Itinerary

1. Het Plein

You'll start at this elegant square surrounded by cafés and government buildings, discovering what it was nearly renamed during German occupation. Experience the vibrant political heart of The Hague where ministers and diplomats still stroll today.

2. Binnenhof & Ridderzaal

Marvel at this stunning medieval complex that houses the Dutch Parliament, with its iconic towers and courtyards dating back to the 13th century. Walk through the same halls where the country's most important political decisions are made.

3. Mauritshuis

Pass by this exquisite Dutch Golden Age palace that now showcases world-famous masterpieces including Vermeer's "Girl with a Pearl Earring." Admire the elegant façade of this former royal residence turned celebrated art museum.

4. Het Torentje (Prime Minister’s office)

You'll see the Prime Minister's iconic office tower, a small but powerful building where Dutch leaders have worked for centuries. Learn why this unassuming structure has witnessed some of the nation's most dramatic political moments.

5. Lange Voorhout

Stroll along The Hague's most prestigious tree-lined boulevard, often called the Dutch Champs-Élysées, flanked by impressive Baroque palaces. Enjoy the elegant atmosphere where art galleries, embassies, and grand hotels create a sophisticated urban experience.

6. Noordeinde Palace

You'll pass the working palace where King Willem-Alexander conducts his daily royal duties, recognizable by its classical orange-trimmed façade. Explore the charming palace gardens and discover why storks have become a symbol throughout the city.

7. Hotel Des Indes

Marvel at this legendary luxury hotel that has welcomed Winston Churchill, three US presidents, and music icons like Michael Jackson and Prince. Walk past this grand 19th-century building where history and glamour continue to intersect.

8. Escher in The Palace

Pass by the former winter palace of Queen Mother Emma, now home to the mind-bending works of Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher. Discover how this elegant royal residence became the perfect setting for impossible staircases and optical illusions.

9. Grote Kerk

You'll see the city's Great Church with its famously tilted "Drunken Man's Tower" leaning at an unusual angle. Learn the entertaining story behind this 15th-century spire's peculiar nickname and architectural quirk.

10. Old City Hall

Pass this charming Renaissance building and hear why locals joke that The Hague is just "the biggest village in the Netherlands." Experience the intimate scale of Dutch governance in this surprisingly modest seat of municipal power.
