One day in the Hague: An resident’s itinerary to a perfect day trip to the Hague

April 10, 2018 by Karen Turner 10 Comments

You might have heard of the Hague. The Hague is the former capital of the Netherlands as well as my home. Quite a few friends have asked about taking a day trip from Amsterdam to the Hague and what to do in one day in the Hague. Here’s my resident’s guide to one day in the Hague with the perfect itinerary for exploring the Hague on foot. I include a self-guided walking tour with a map to help you see the best of the Hague.

The Hague is often overlooked by visitors to the Netherlands as well as local visitors as there’s a perception that it’s boring and there’s not much to do in the Hague.  Since moving here, I have to disagree and I must say the Hague is a beautiful culture-rich city with a lot to do/see.

I’ve tried to highlight my favorites in this one day itinerary to the Hague, but you can read more tips for visiting the Hague here . If you’re looking for a good base for your trip to the Netherlands , the Hague is only forty minutes from Amsterdam , fifteen minutes from Delft , and thirty minutes from Rotterdam.    You can read about more day trips from Amsterdam here .

Map of my self-guided walking tour of the Hague at the bottom!

Take the train to Den Haag HS or Den Haag Centraal

People are often confused by the train stations in the Hague.  There’s two main stations as well as a handful of stations around the Hague.  Depending on where you’re coming from, you’ll stop off at Den Haag HS (Hollands Spoor) or Den Haag Centraal .

Den Haag HS is the oldest railroad station in the Netherlands dating back to the 1800s and there’s a secret waiting room where the King of the Netherlands can only access.  I find the station particularly beautiful, so be sure to admire it for a moment.

Both stations are fine to get off at and both are about the same (ish) distance from the historic center of the Hague.  If you’re not as keen on walking, I think that Den Haag Centraal makes it easier to find the trams that go directly into center. That said, I think that you’ll find better breakfast options near Den Haag HS.  I start this self-guided walking tour of the Hague close to Den Haag HS, but you can easily start it wherever you want.

• Pim Coffee & Vintage
• Scally’s
• Bagels & Beans

If you’re looking for some of the best breakfast options in the Hague, you really need to look close to Den Haag HS as my favorite breakfast places in the Hague are here.  Club Vers  is perfect for those who love to eat healthy and/or have dietary restrictions. I absolutely love their creative healthy waffles. 

For coffee and a little treat in the morning, I recommend the pastries at  Pim Coffee & Vintage , an adorable cafe with fantastic coffee (veggie friendly) and amazing cakes.  Click for my guide to the best brunch and breakfast in the Hague.

For the full English breakfast, check out  Scally’s for a ridiculously reasonable full English breakfast (they call it the Scallywich) and/or authentic British scones with a lot of character (think giant portraits of William & Kate).  Otherwise, Bagels & Beans (by Spui) is an easy option.  For just coffee, read my post of the best cafes in the Hague.

The Hague has the largest Chinatown in the Netherlands partially due to immigration after World War II and although this whole neighborhood surprises a lot of people who visit, you can find some great Chinese food here.

As you might have already had breakfast, I recommend stopping off for Bubble Tea. My favorite flavor is with mango or apple and I love the bubbles that pop in your mouth.

Van Kleef Distillery i s the oldest and only remaining distillery located in the Hague. This historic distillery dating back to the 1800s is not producing liquors at the location itself anymore due to the risk of fire, however it’s worth stepping into this stunning historic shop for a tasting. 

For fifty cents, you can try a number of different types of traditional Dutch alcohols .  I know that it’s early, but I especially love the Voorburg spirit as well as the Kruide Baggah. They accept credit cards.

The Passage is a UNESCO recognized building in the Hague.  This shopping arcade predates the covered passages in Paris  and it has some architecturally distinct qualities. I just enjoy walking through this stunning passage and stopping for a coffee at a cozy cafe .

The Binnenhof is where Dutch parliament is located. Although the capital of the Netherlands is now in Amsterdam, many of the government buildings remain in the Hague.  The Binnenhof was originally a mansion owned by Count Floris IV in 1229, which stands next to the lake that you still see today.  Starting in 1446, this building as used for Dutch Parliament and under the occupations of the Netherlands by other countries, the Binnenhof grew into the beautiful castle that it is today.

If you’re on bike or on foot, you can actually walk through the Binnenhof 24/7, which is so cool.  It’s a stunning building and it’s free to admire, so be sure to explore it.  Even on a rainy day, you’ll find some shade underneath the corridors.

Walk along Noordeinde

Noordeinde is the heart of the historic part of the Hague.  This road leads to the King’s Palace and I love veering off this road for all the adorable shops in the Hague.  (I especially love stopping into the de filosoof to browse for wine and pet their cat.)  It’s just a beautiful street and you’ll understand almost immediately once you’re here.  I also love the archway by Korte Molenstraat.

If you’re visiting the Hague on a Friday or Saturday afternoon (between 1 and 4pm ), you can stop into  Kloosterbrouwerij Haagsche Broeder , a Catholic order who makes their own beer and sells it out of their cloister. 

The beer is first-rate and the monks are actually delightful to talk too.  (They speak English as well and one of them is American.)  I realize that you have to get kind of lucky to have your one day in the Hague overlap with their hours, but you can go to any of the bars down the street to buy a bottle to enjoy at the bar (including De Oude Mol ) if you miss their hours.

Noordeinde Palace is where the Dutch King’s office is located.  Yes, you read that right.  In the Netherlands, the Dutch King works on behalf of the government and he commutes to work.  You can tell if the King is in the palace if the flag is up.

Walk down Lange Voorhout & Hooikade

Before you leave this area, be sure to enjoy the stunning views of the Binnenhof close to the Hofvijver, the lake next to the Binnenhof.  In spring, you’ll find lots of flowers here, making the view of the Binnenhof only more beautiful.  Then, make a left to turn onto Lange Voorhout.

This spacious avenue used to be where to be seen if you were nobility.  Be sure to walk down Hooikade to view the prettiest canal in the Hague.  Then, admire the antique shops along Denneweg.

Lunch at FOAM or Pizzeria II Vesuvio

Stop for lunch at FOAM for a fresh, organic, and meat-free meal. FOAM is a healthy lunch place, perfect for getting a fresh salad or a healthy sandwich.  It’s super vegan-friendly and pretty affordable considering the high quality of the ingredients.

The atmosphere is quite nice, so make a reservation if you want to come here on a Saturday as it can be busy. For something a bit less healthy, stop at Pizzeria II Vesuvio for some fresh pizza at one of the best pizza places in the Hague. (They have vegan cheese! Sorry for the healthy obsession, but I’m lactose-intolerant and I  try to eat healthy.)

Afterward, stop off at the Peace Palace.  Getting a tour of the Peace Palace is fairly difficult and I detail how to get a tour of the Peace Palace here, but you can definitely admire one of the most beautiful buildings in the Hague.  Built in the 1920s by all different countries, the Peace Palace is a stunning building, even from a distance.  Even if you can’t get a tour, you can admire it by the gates.

If you’re interested in art, consider taking the tram back or walking back to the Mauritshuis to enjoy the rest of the afternoon enjoying one of the best art museums in the Netherlands.  You can see the Girl with the Pearl Earring as well as the Goldfinch here, so be sure to enjoy these Dutch masterpieces.  If you’re a fan of Vermeer, it’s also possible to visit Delft on a day trip as Delft is only fifteen minutes by train.

If it’s a beautiful summer day, consider taking the tram out to Scheveningen, the most popular beach resort in the Netherlands.  it’s a bit too far to walk, however you can hop onto a bus/tram towards Scheveningen.  Click for my guide to Scheveningen.

I recommend seeing the stunning Kurhaus as well as the Scheveningen Pier.  It’s just lovely to sit out along the beach with a cold drink while enjoying the views on a nice day.  I’m not even a beach person, but a recent trip with some friends to the beach have convinced me.

Option 3: City Exploring on foot

If you’re interested in staying in the Hague, I have a longer walking route through the Hague that will show off the most interesting neighborhoods in the Hague.  If you’re into city exploring, this itinerary for the Hague is for you.

The Zeeheldenkwartier is one of the coolest neighborhoods in the Hague.  Complete with lots of antique shops, cozy cafes, and picturesque houses, the neighborhood is just fun to walk through.  I recommend walking along Prins Hendrikstraat or Piet Heinstraat.  Both have lots of unique cafes, including the Hague’s only cat cafe.

The Hague has many hofjes, which are historic almshouses where those in need would be houses. Originally these were funded by private donors, however the hofjes in the Hague that exist today were created by the city government. Click for my secret guide to the Hague with more hofjes!

My favorite hofje in the Hague is a bit tricky to access, so I encourage you to step into the historic courtyard of  Het Hooftshofje .  The door is typically open during the day, so please be considerate/quiet as this is private property.

The Haagse Markt started in the 1920s.  This historic market is one of my favorite markets in the Netherlands.  It’s quite different than many others that you’ll encounter as it’s mostly locals grocery shopping and buying household goods.  (Bring cash if you want to shop here.) I love all the shouting and yelling of the vendors–and the whole experience of doing my weekly grocery shopping here.  Be sure to stop off for fresh stroopwafel and frites.

Note: You’ll probably want to bike or take a bus/tram back towards center after visiting the Haagse Markt as it’s a bit out of the way.  The Haagse Markt is open on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.

You have so many great dinner options in the Hague. Moving here, I thought that the Hague would be boring and typically Dutch, however it is one of the most diverse cities in the Netherlands partially due to the fact that most of the embassies in the Netherlands are here in the Hague. As a result, you can try food from all over the world in the Hague.  Click for a guide to my favorite affordable restaurants in the Hague.

Bleyenberg is a modern Dutch restaurant right along Grote Markt, the main going out square in the Hague.  The interior is absolutely stunning and I was really impressed with the quality of the food.  Although I generally find Dutch food uninspiring, I was inspired by the flavors in the dish that I didn’t expect. They have an English menu and it’s best to make a reservation if you want to come here for dinner. Price: $$

Warung Bude Kati  is my favorite Indonesian restaurant in the Hague. This cozy family-run restaurant has some seating although it fills up quickly on the weekends. The portions are huge  and the prices are extremely reasonable.  I try a different dish almost every time that I come here and a friend who grew up in Indonesia was really impressed with how authentic the food is.  The owners are super friendly although be warned that it’s Maestro or cash only. Price: $

Warung Mini is a Javanese-Surinamese restaurant on your way back to Den Haag Centraal or HS.  This cozy and popular restaurant is definitely more casual, but it has the most famous Surinamese food in the Hague. ( Click to read more about Surinamese food and what to order here !)

Be warned that if you ask for spicy, it will be very spicy.  The prices are really affordable here, so expect to pay less than ten euros for a massive meal.  Note: They’re halal, so no beer. Price: $

I have a few favorite places to get drinks in the Hague.  All are close to the city center, but closer to the train station, perfect for a nightcap before you head out of the Hague.

Syndicaat is a vintage-inspired cocktail speakeasy in the heart of Chinatown.  Hidden behind a secret door, you’ll find the entrance to this lovely little bar, which has jazz music on weekends.  The cocktails are made with Van Kleef gin, so you can’t go wrong with a bespoke cocktail here!

De Paas is my favorite beer bar in the Hague.  This cozy brown bar along Bierkade has a great selection of local beer, knowledgeable bartenders, and a cozy atmosphere.  It’s quiet here with minimal music.  In summer, you can sit out on the boat in the canal to enjoy your beer. What else could you want? ( Click for more beer cafes in the Hague .)

Where to stay in the Hague

If you choose to stay overnight in the Hague, you’ll find lots of affordable options, especially compared to Amsterdam.  For the fanciest hotel in the Hague, stay at the historic Hotel des Indes to rub shoulders with visiting royalty.  For a modern boutique hotel, consider staying at Hotel Indigo in the heart of Noordeinde.  For something budget yet clean hotel, stay at the Student Hotel , which isn’t only for students.  There’s also a few hostels in the Hague .

I work in The Hague quite regularly, as a lot of my clients are based there. It’s a lovely city. My friend lives in the middle of China town and I love exploring all the shops and restaurants there, it’s like a mini-vacation.

September 23, 2018 at 1:59 pm

thank you for this post! Will be visiting this lovely place in December! I will surely use this post as a guide.

July 24, 2019 at 4:59 pm

thank you so much for writing this! I’m planning to visit for one day in early August, as I wrap up my visit in Amsterdam. Can you tell me if there are souvenirs available that are specific to the parliament? I am a nerd and like to collect pens from different government agencies. 🙂 Thanks again!

July 24, 2019 at 6:24 pm

Hi Twylia, If you do a tour of the parliament, it might be possible to get a pen. I visited last year and was given a pen as it was a special event, but you might get one if you ask. I did see fancier pens on sale there, but I’m not sure how typical that is. I hope that you have a great trip and get your pen!

July 25, 2019 at 3:34 am

Thank you so much!!

August 19, 2019 at 8:50 am

I have tickets on October to see the Nederlands Dans Theatre at the Zuiderstrandtheater. I am planning on staying at the Hotel Des Indes (-or possibly the Paleis Hotel), Could you tell me the best way to get to the theatre and return on a Friday evening? Approximately how long does it take to get there? Thank you so much for your help — and your blog. I am really enjoying it, as you can see by the question and my previous one about the International Criminal Court.

August 19, 2019 at 1:50 pm

Hi Dianna, you can check Google Maps for the tram/bus schedule. I’d guess 20-30 minutes although you could always rent a bike if you want to try it out: https://localholland.com/the-hague/services-in-the-hague/rent-bike-hague/

Alternatively, a taxi is always possible. Glad to hear that!

December 29, 2019 at 7:42 pm

Karen, I was delighted to find this information to help me get from Amsterdam to the Hague, My reason for this visit is to trace family history, My father was born in the Hague and lived there until he was 13 when he moved with his family to NYC where my grandfather was going to be a professor at Columbia Univ. I have the addresses where he lived so I plan to visit those. I had been to the Hague as a child with my parents so am just interested this time in wandering around a seeing some highlights. I will be staying at the Marriott for the night. Then need to get to Schipol airport for an evening flight

December 30, 2019 at 12:43 am

Hi Brenda, I hope that you have a fantastic trip retracing your father’s steps! It’s a lovely city and I hope that you find what you’re hoping for. There is a city archive (https://www.denhaag.nl/en/municipality-of-the-hague/municipal-organisation/the-hague-city-archives.htm) that might be good to contact in advance if you are looking for anything specific. Enjoy! -Karen

10 Great Day Trips to Take From The Hague

Planning day trips from The Hague is exceptionally easy thanks to the city’s centrality and proximity to important transport hubs like Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Utrecht. The Hague is also surrounded by several smaller cities that all have their own distinctive charms.

Lisse lies in the heart of South-Holland’s tulip belt and is surrounded by hundreds of colourful flower fields. The city main attractions include a fascinating tulip museum , castle ‘t Huys Dever and, of course, Keukenhof Gardens .

There are several rapid train lines that connect the Hague with Amsterdam as the cities provide commuters to one another. Despite being the largest city in the Netherlands, Amsterdam’s size is relatively manageable and it is possible to visits many of its famous sights in one day .

Leiden’s university is the oldest in the Netherlands and date back to 1575. Since then the city has developed around academia and currently features many stunning buildings associated with the university including Leiden Observatory . Hortus Botanicus botanical gardens and several scholarly museums .

Rotterdam is actually connected to The Hague by a high speed metro line which means that travelling between either city takes around 30 minutes. As the second largest city in the Netherlands, Rotterdam has plenty to offer travellers, including astounding ultra-modern architecture , world-leading museums and many awesome nighttime hangouts .

The windmills at Kinderdijk

Due to its historical and cultural significance, the windmill network inside Kinderdijk is protected as an UNSECO World Heritage Site. Most of these incredible machines are over 250 years old and were originally built to drain water from the area’s marshlands.

Although Kijkduin is actually part of the Hague its distance from the city’s centre can easily justify an entire day trip. This seaside borough lies roughly 10 kilometre due west of the Binnenhof and is famous for its beautiful coastline, windswept dunes and modernist architecture.

Utrecht might be the most historically charming city in the Netherlands and still features many church buildings from the Middle Ages. The Dom Tower , for example, was built in the 14th century and has stood above Utrecht’s historic town centre ever since.

Delft is a medieval city that lies between The Hague and Rotterdam. This photogenic burg was once an economic powerhouse and famously produced massive quotas of beautiful Delftware pottery during the Dutch Golden Ages. Many buildings from this period are still present within Delft and the city is renowned for its classic architecture.

Haarlem’s medieval town centre is utterly breathtaking and features several magnificent ecclesiastical and municipal buildings that predate the Dutch Golden Age. There’s also a craft brewery inside a former church.

Gouda’s modest size and wide range of historical attractions makes it perfect for day trips from the Hague. Many of these wonderful buildings date back to Gouda’s economic heyday when it was the only city in the Netherlands that was permitted to hold a cheese market (which still takes place every Thursday between April and September).

Can I reserve the tour for more than 6 people?

Our booking system allows reservations for a maximum of 6 people per booking. Our experience shows us that other attendees appreciate smaller groups within the tour. It keeps the tour up to speed and it’s easier to make new friends between smaller groups. We kindly ask you to respect this.

If you are visiting with a larger group, consider booking a  Private Walking Tour of The Hague . You will have full attention of your own guide and it leaves more space for improvisation during the tour.

Still wish to join a Free Tour with a group larger than 6 people? If we have enough availability, you can make multiple reservations in our booking system under the same name and email address.

Why is a tour date/time not available in the booking calendar?
