Political heart The Hague
The Hague is home to the Dutch government buildings and international embassies. This is what gives The Hague its grand and stately air. It is the place for spotting Dutch politicians. A visit to the Binnenhof and the Ridderzaal should be an integral part of any trip to The Hague. This is where the Dutch parliament sits and the King gives his annual speech. Also interesting is a trip to see the Peace Palace or the International Court of Justice.
