The Hague / Museum

One of the most beautiful museums i know (in terms of architecture) is in Den Haag. The architect is H.P Berlage. The superb collection Mondrian paintings couldn’t be more at home as here.

The Hague / Attraction

Almost 400 years later, as soon there is ice, people are still ice skating on the Hofvijver. It’s the most beautiful spot in Den Haag to practice this typical Dutch sport (some say it is not even a sport, but an important part of Dutch culture). Next to the Hofvijver are the Dutch parliament buildings, and the Mauritshuis (with some nice paintings)

The Hague / Attraction

In 1618 Jan van de Velde II made “Gezicht op de Hofvijver in Den Haag”, with people ice skating and having fun on ice.
