Itinerary

Duration: 20 mins
2. Binnenhof & Ridderzaal
You will walk onto the square within the parliament complex and see the Knight's Hall. Here our guide will tell you about the significance and history of this place. With some luck, you might see some of our ministers (or prime minister) walking by!

The Hofvijver lake is situated in front of the parliament building and the prime minister's office. You will learn about the significance of this place and some funny history.
Duration: 10 mins
4. Thorbecke Monument
The statue of Thorbecke next to the Hofvijver is quite interesting. This statue has to do with our democracy and the father of our constitution! You will hear more about it.
Duration: 10 mins
5. Lange Voorhout
This is the Champs-Élysées of The Hague. Quite a classy street! You will pass by 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.

You 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 see!
Duration: 10 mins
