The Hague - Surroundings

Northeast of The Hague by way of Voorburg and Leidschendam we come to Voorschooten, a few kilometers beyond which a road (3km/2mi) goes off to Kasteel Duivenvoorde, a medieval castle which was restored in 1631 by Johan van Wassenaer. The original decoration and furnishings have been preserved (family portraits, Delft ware, Chinese and European porcelain, silver). The English-style park is open throughout the year.

West of The Hague, on the North Sea coast, extends the seaside resort of Kijkduin, with excellent bathing facilities.

The area also offers golfing, shopping, dining, and is particularly popular during the summer months.
