Itinerary
1. You will learn about the Father of the Fatherland, Willem van Oranje, and his role in the 80 years war: the dutch revolt.
2. We will make our way towards the Mauritshuis museum. I will tell you something about the building and its history. Among others, this museum has the most famous paintings of Johannes Vermeer inside.
3. We will briefly walk onto the square within the parliament complex and see the Knight's Hall. Here I will tell you about the significance and history of this place. With some luck, we might see some of our ministers walking by!
4. The Hofvijver pond is situated in front of the parliament building and the prime minister's office (the little tower!). You will learn about the significance of this place and some funny histoy.
5. The statue of Thorbecke next to the Hofvijver is quite interesting. This statue has to do with our constitution! You will hear more about it.
6. This is the Champs-Élysées of The Hague. Quite a classy street! We will walk a bit and pass multiple embassies, an art museum, a famous hotel, the temporary senate building, a statue gallery of the dutch heads of states and some more interesting (royal) buildings.
7. We will see the working palace of the dutch king. Based on the flag, we can find out if he is currently in the country. Let's find out!
8. We will see the Grote Kerk ("Big Church") of The Hague. What is that stork doing on top of it? Let's see!
9. Another statue! This is the only head of government of the Netherlands that has been eaten by an angry dutch mob! That sounds a bit weird, but you'll find out what happened.
