It was pretty but not much to see. Interesting to visit in the different seasons- winter snows vs. summer flowers. More

Very attractive area, old historical buildings and a new 'tweede kamer'. Clean, open, can follow daily debates at certain times. Security check like at the airports, safety first. Inside you can get brochures about the 'government'. However, not seen in English (not asked for it...) More

This is a beautiful and historic area. Getting a picture of Ridderzaal and the fountains outside the Binnenhof is a must when visiting the Hague. I haven't done the tour yet, but it's on my list. More

The Binnenhof area in Den Haag is one of the most beautiful collections of buildings I've seen anywhere in Europe. Surrounded by a gorgeous moat with fountains and a nice park. Well worth a walkabout. Be sure to bring your camera. More

This was an amazing experience especially seeing the throne Queen Beatrix sits on when giving her speech. The staff were wonderful and told a lot of nice stories. It was a real priviledge to visit. More

Loved the Knights Hall, as it gives you an idea of what it was like back in those days. More

Be sure to book a tour. It's a bit difficult to find the meeting place for the tour so be sure to get good directions. Even thought the tour was in Dutch, they were wonderful. You receive a paper with the tour in English and the guide was very thoughtful and explaining in English too. More

We didn't go inside, to see the actual meeting rooms etc, but from the outside it already looks nice, it is old and merged with it is a newer part, what must now be the modern main hall. The parlaiment is like an old castle, very nice for pictures. More
