wanna see more of the Hague?

The Hague, city and seat of government of the Netherlands, residence of the Queen, (Amsterdam is the official capital), and capital of South Holland Province, in the western part of the country. Located at the coast of the North Sea, it is the nation's third largest city and its chief administrative center. It has a population of about 450,000. The Supreme Court of the Netherlands and the States-General (parliament) are here; the city is also the site of most foreign embassies.

The Hague is mainly residential, its economy based largely on government and administrative activities. The city is the site of the International Court of Justice, a United Nations agency, and is an important center for international conferences. The city is also the headquarters for Eurapol, which coordinates cross-border policing for members of the European Union. It is also the seat of the International War Tribunal that is currently handling the Bosian war criminals. The UN proclaimed The Hague the Legal Capital of the world.

Notable landmarks in The Hague include the Binnenhof (Inner Court) and Buitenhof (Outer Court), consisting of a group of government structures dating in part from the 13th century. Nearby is the famous Mauritshuis Royal Art Gallery. Other landmarks include the 15th-century Groote Kerk (Great Church); the Stadhuis (City Hall, 1565); and the Gevangenpoort (Prison Gate). The Peace Palace (1913), endowed by the American industrialist and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie in 1903, is the home of the International Court of Justice.
