The
Binnenhof buildings across Hofvijver lake, part of Dutch Parliament
and the central core of The Hague.
The
Netherlands' third largest city after Amsterdam and Rotterdam, The
Hague is capital of South Holland province, home to the Dutch parliament,
many international legal organisations including the International
Court of Justice, as well as Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands,
though strangely Den Haag is not the country's capital, which is Amsterdam.
The
Knight's Hall [aka Ridderzaal] part of the Binnenhof Parliament
buildings, The Hague.
Founded in 1248 Den Haag is spacious, has an excellent culture scene,
fantastic dining options, contains many elegant buildings both old
and new, fine museums and encompasses two North Sea beach resorts,
Scheveningen and Kijkduin. The former is more popular
with tourists, the latter with locals.
Binnenhof - a 13th century castle morphed into the Dutch Parliament
- is one of the finer buildings, while notable arts can be seen at
the Mauritshuis [Dutch paintings], Gemeente museum [a splendid collection
of musical instruments], the Panorama Mesdag [home of an amazing 360-degree
painting of Scheveningen sea front] and the Bug favourite
Escher Museum.

Yes,
The Hague does modern too, and plenty of it. This extraordinary edifice
is an office block.
