The Hague
Kings, courts and diplomats get all the attention. Meanwhile The Hague quietly became one of the tastiest cities in the country. The Haagse Markt, the kitchens of the Zeeheldenkwartier, the Chinatown around Wagenstraat. Our local foodies grew up here and know exactly which door to knock on.
Did you know?
- The Hague is the seat of the Dutch government, but not the capital. That title goes to Amsterdam.
- People from more than 180 nationalities live in The Hague. That is a lot of kitchens in one city.
- The Hague has 11 kilometres of coastline, more beach than any other Dutch city.
- Almost 500 international organisations are based here, including the International Court of Justice.
- Locals still call it "the biggest village in Europe".
