A Self-Guided Audio Tour of The Hague’s Historical Center

Despre activitate

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!
