Grote Markt Plein/Bars and Restuarants
by jcsuperstar
This square is where I go everyday to drink coffee, eat brunch, read the newspapers and generally shoot the breeze with acquaintances and friends. There are squares like this in Amsterdam but because they're well known it's loaded with tourists. This tends to make some locations a bit seedy but because Den Haag (the Hague) isn't such a touristy place, it stays a place where local artists and bohemians like to come and meet up. There are 5 bars, 1 club and 4 restuarants so there's enough choice for the traveller that wants to meet up with the local crowd. If you get there, just ask someone behind the bar (you might have to ask a few different bar workers) if Dutch/Canadian photographer by the name of Jan is around and then maybe we could meet up and I could give a few tips. Enjoy your stay. cheers, Jan

William the Silent's statue
by Nathalie_B
I already mentioned this name on one of my pages. William the silent was the stadtholder of Holland, Zeeland, and Utrecht, and basically founded Dutch independence. He was assassinated by a French Catholic fanatic who shot him in his residence in Delft.
You can see more that one statue of William the Silent in The Hague, this one is found right infront of the Palace Noordeinde.

If you like architecture, The Hague is a must. There are old buildings from the Middle ages, such as the Hall of Knights, palaces from the 17th century, and structures built by the architects of the famous Amsterdam school of architecture. Even now, new interesting buildings are being created. On this picture you can see the Haags Gemeentemuseum, built by Berlage. Picture taken May 2002
