The Hague

Some places will be hold in your heart forever. The Hague is one of them: the best of both worlds. City of peace and justice. From city and beach. From new styles and old masters. Of shops and palaces. From exotic cuisine and Dutch fishing port. There is plenty to do in this diverse city!

Shop

For a day of shopping you are in the right place in the city center of The Hague. Well-known department stores and large retail chains are within walking distance of the hip fashion boutiques and concept stores. Exclusive local shops can be found in the Hofkwartier, Noordeinde and on the Denneweg. Also nice to visit is the renewed Foodhallen in the Haagse Bluf shopping court, where you can find twelve food stands and two bars. Looking for bargains?
