Tour: The Story of The Hague

‘The Story of The Hague’ is a city walk for young and old alike and is designed to introduce participants to the city’s history. The tours will be held not only in Dutch and English but also in German and French (on request).

Led by a guide from Gilde The Hague, the tour takes you to the most prominent places in The Hague’s history starting with a visit to The Hague Historical Museum. There you will see some great objects from The Hague’s history, such as the ‘Tongue and Toe’.

Followed by a walk round the historic city centre and the Mesdag Quarter, the tour ends with a visit to Panorama Mesdag. Here you enter ‘the biggest painting in the Netherlands’ and you will experience the magical optical illusion of this fascinating 1881 panorama of Scheveningen.
