3. Spot deer grazing minutes from one of the country's busiest stations
4. See the parliament where kings are never crowned and the Prime Minister works in a tower with no guards.

6. Meet the girl whose identity no one knows
7. Relax in the shadow of William of Orange’s statue at this lively café-lined square.
