Enjoy The Hague in a total different way and see the Japanese Garden in Clingendael. Baroness Marguérite van Brienen, the founder of the Javanese Garden (1871-1939), travelled to Japan. When returned she brought a tea-house, Japanese lanterns and beautiful stone rocks. She designed herself a Japanese garden and, in 1954 the estate became property of Municipal The Hague.
You love Japan, Japanese design, flowers and beauty in nature? Walk your way and find some beautiful flowers in the Japanese Garden (like Hosta's and Lysichitums Prunus-kinds, Azaleas). Close your eyes, and enjoy the odorous smell of the flowers, it's amazing. The Japanese Garden strictly opens from April 30 until half Juin, all free entrance (09.00 - 20.00 o'clock), no dogs allowed. A short time, although there are special winter-times you are able to watch some special winter flowers, see link.

Almshouses (Hofjes) can be found all over the Netherlands, though The Hague has some very famous "hofjes" (a "hofje" means "garden"). These lovely little houses were built for charity in the 17th century where the poorest people were allowed to live for free.
One of the finest almshouses is the Hofje van Wouw which you can find in the center of The Hague, named after its founder "Cornelia van Wouw". The garden inside is really beautiful and Hofje van Wouw is famous because of its Christmas and summer events. The occupants will allow touristy guests to join and sing their Christmas songs. Try their apple-pie, during summertime, too!
About 14 little houses were built in 1647 and, threw open to public. See the beautiful entrance with the bird-symbol, kept in good repair. Right next to it you find the "Hofje van Dam", founded in 1606 (Lange Beestenmarkt 21-47, The Hague). Just across the mainstreet Prinsengracht you'll find the Hooftshofje (from 1756, see pic2) ...
Special city-tours are organized in this region,... and remember when going this direction: my penthouse is very close to these "Hofjes"...
At September 30 there was a special "Biological Fruit" event, very well done, see soon my pictures ... Leave a Comment

This wide avenue between Kneuterdijk and Tournooiveld was originally part of the Earl area and in 1536 Emperor Charles V ordered linden trees to be planted along the avenue. Since the 16th century, the stately residences of court nobility and top government officials have been built here. Most of the avenue's current buildings were erected in the 18th century. But you still find older buildings as the Kloosterkerk, the Pagehuis and of course Palace Lange Voorhout situated here.
Nowadays people just take a stroll along this avenue. And every year in summer (june-september) Den Haag sculpture is held here. Leave a Comment

The region of Regentesseplein, The Hague (Regent Square) has been built during 1885 to 1910. It was the same time the Dutch Queen Emma governed Holland (1890-1898), because her daughter Wilhelmina, crowned to Dutch Queen, was too young at the time. The Regentesseplein was opened at September 1905.
The Regent Square houses a multi-cultural selection of people who do live in peace here (which cannot be said of other regions). That's why the Regent Square is named the "other" The Hague, in 2001 31th October visited by Crown Prince Willem Alexander and his wife Maxima. See the special Obelisk, dedicated to Regent Queen Emma, and enjoy the beautiful Neo-Renaissance and Jugendstil influence around, or go for a wonderful shop at Weimarstraat ... Leave a Comment

See the South side of Groenmarkt (Green-market) where the Old City Hall (Oude Stadhuis) shines in all her old Dutch Renaissance style. It contains the entrance to the office suites and the large basement restaurant, too.
This is the old quarter of The Hague, where it fronts onto the main shopping Vene street, the chique Bonneterie (a department store, well-known for its international and royal clients) and, the famous terrace of 't Gouden Hooft Restaurant (Golden Head Restaurant). This triangle formed place still is the heart of city's center of The Hague. And have to mention the 2 beautiful ladies (true Goddesses!) on the front having a chat ...

The Hague is often referred to as the green city for the abundance of parks within the city limits. The Haagse Bos (Den Haag Forest) extends right to the central train station and contains a small fenced area with deer. Personally, I’m most acquired with the forested parks between the centrum and the beach (Scheveningen). These wide swaths of parkland are densely forested but accommodate pedestrians, cyclists and equestrians. Always a pleasant experience, it’s easy to forget that you’re surrounded by The Netherlands third largest city. Leave a Comment

If you really wanna go The Hague and, meeting some very local "Hagenezen" (The Hague people), you could have a Haagse (The Hague) snack. Find yourself one of the famous "Koffiehuis" (coffee-houses) or a Mister Snack (this one is a 10 minutes walk from center)...
The area of such a place even used to be filmed for a soapy program on local TV, with a lot of fun. Try a "broodje-kroket" (bread with deep-fried croquette), or the raw herring, a "patatje oorlog" (French fries with peanut sauce, mayonanaise and raw pieces of unions) and maybe with some luck you could get a cup of "erwtensoep" (Dutch green peas soup)...
"Eetsmakelijk"

Too easilly people pass this one by. Yes, it's a department-store, and its main purpose is to sell you things. But even if you don't want that you might want to take a look. Because this department-store, De Bijenkorf ("the beehive"), is one of the country's big monuments of expressionist architecture. It was designed by architect P.L. Kramer, one of the founding members of the Amsterdam School, and built from 1924-1926, which makes it also one of the last big buildings of this style. The exterior is decorated with the works of a multitude of sculptors and other artists. This is more than just a building, it's a work of art. Leave a Comment
