by Nathalie_B Driving around The Hague you may forget about the trams. Be careful!!! We almost got hit by one. Almost though.... :-) Another problem is that a lot of roads are actually trams rails as well and often you can find yourslef in a traffic just becuase of them. Look at the picture, I guess this poor guy was chased by a tram and had to "climb" with his car up to the building to avoid an accident. :-) Leave a Comment

Especially when you come to Den Haag by car. Most people aren't used to trams and forget to look out for them. And so every once in a while you see a car parked against a tram.. But also when you go by bike or when you are on foot.. remember don't forget that they have priority. Leave a Comment

 sign-do-not-enter-dunes by RoyJava Taking a walk in the dunes, woods or along the beach is a wonderful idea to spend your time in and around The Hague. There are some spots you cannot enter. Like behind this warning-sign "Verboden Toegang" ("Prohibited"!). Do not proceed on your great walk, you will get a penalty-ticket of a not-funny highness (even in this royal city...)!

by nighthawk We strawled into a little alley and suddenly stood for a large gate with guards standing there. They looked at us with strict eyes and my friend almost ran away. I could understand, for we probable were at the gate to the Palace at Noordeinde (where either the queen or prince Willem Alexander lives) but I just had to take this photograph, so I turned my back to the guards and quietly did what I wanted to do.

As any seasoned traveller, including myself, should be aware, don't leave your luggage unattended. Riding the trains is common in Europe, but often there is not enough room by the seats to store your luggage. I stupidly left the luggage in a corner behind my seat. I was a bit off guard since I was traveling with a local. I did turnaround to check on it a few minutes later, but by then my backpack (the big kind) was gone! I took my eyes off of it for like 2 minutes, and the train hadn't even departed yet! I had a flight to catch at the airport (thank goodness it happenned at the end of the trip) so I could not spend too much time going to file a report at the main train stations (the staff there is hardly of any help either). Anyways, take it from me. Don't let your guard down - always keep an eye on your belongings!!! Leave a Comment

 scheveningen-thehague by RoyJava When wanna have fun at beach resort of Scheveningen keep in mind there are "No Dogs Allowed". Concerning the area around the Kurhaus & the Pier, the police connives at bringing your dog at Noorder- and Zuiderstrand. Even a lost of a dog you may report at the police and, the same concerns your kids. Tell the kids to watch the symbols on the poles which are right in the front of each the beach-houses/pavilions (includes t-shirt, camel, ice-cream etc., see pic). So they are able to find their way back when loosing their way. Horse-riding police is around all day long, including police-cars. See link for phone ... Leave a Comment

 billboard-thehague by RoyJava The Hague, unfortunately, is the best-known Dutch city for building schemes. That is why The Hague got the cover of all papers by spending too much money for all kind of projects. It could happen that at one time 70 places along the road of The Hague were closed, and our cars got diverted in traffic. Yep, a lot of angry people, tourists, situations! Well, think of the beautiful places The Hague will offer in future, ... heehee. Like this Rabbijn Maarsenplein next to Markthof, center The Hague. Ehm, donot ask me if the place really will show up like this great street-sign, a billboard showing that future ... ;o))) Leave a Comment

 parking-sign-thehague by RoyJava Already mentioned (see above) the parking problems still grow every day in The Hague. So driving a car watch parking-sign all over the centre of The Hague and areas around the centre. Not that funny your car has been dragged away! And we refuse to believe the rumour that the centre will change in a totally park-free (no cars allowed) area very soon ... (keep in touch, I'll put it here at once!) Visitors address Postal Office Loosduinseweg 13-17 2571 AA The Hague Desk Opening hours on workdays from 07.45 am until 04.00 pm Leave a Comment

by 20011019 The Hague is not more dangerous than other cities. But these are the neighbourhoods you can better avoid in the night. They aren't THAT dangerous, but the people around here tend to be more agressive, and there's is nothing you'd miss if you wouldnt go here in the night, so there's no use. So don't go to: - De Schilderswijk - Stationsbuurt - neighbourhood around HS (trainstation) Leave a Comment

The Haagsche Bos (The Hague Wood) is a green area close to the center of The Hague, next to Maliveld where a lot of events take place. Around 1570 the Haagsche Bos got shortened because of the need of wood for the locals to defend themselves against Spanish troops. Though the Spaniards got away with the wood and, the Haagsche Bos never recovered from it. In day-time it is worth for a lovely walk and making some wonderful pics (included fashion pics), but take care with night-time. The area will be seeked for the gay scene to find a date ... they have been removed to other places, though come back all the time. Just a note when facing the Haagsche Bos in the dark ...
