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)

If you are not afraid to dig your way through and like to hunt for hidden treasures... 

For indpendent art spaces and young galleries you have to go to the area around the Boekhorststraat. For more details go here.

Great exhibitions.

Relaxed wine bar with nice tapas.
