Standbeeld Haagse Harry

Discover the difference between Hagenaars en Hagenezen, often referenced by The Hague's key figure 'Haagse Harry' in its eponymous comic books. We will stop for a photo at the iconic statue of this local hero.

Built in the late Middle Ages, this towering church can be seen from almost anywhere in the city centre and is an architectural delight.
