Tuesday, 19 September 2023 is Prinsjesdag: the opening of the new parliamentary year. The king and queen and 2 of their daughters will ride in the Glass Coach from Noordeinde Palace to the Koninklijke Schouwburg. Due to the renovation work taking place at the Binnenhof, King Willem-Alexander will read this year’s ‘Speech from the Throne’ there. The speech contains the Dutch government’s plans for the coming year.
Look at the whole programme for Prinsjesdag 2023 on the website of the Dutch government.
Traffic measures
Because Prinsjesdag always draws a large number of visitors, the municipality is taking traffic measures. There are also measures for pedestrians. As of Friday, 15 September the police will place barriers where cars will not be able to pass. And the municipality will fence off the procession route of the Glass Coach.
