An online walking route leads you past all these royal hotspots and allows you to experience the rich royal history of the court capital. Will you spot a member of the royal family?!
When you’re in The Hague, it’s impossible to miss the House of Orange. You can find palaces, historical monuments and beautiful palace gardens everywhere.
Discover Noordeinde Palace, the Royal Stables and many other royal buildings
The highlights on the route are Noordeinde Palace (the king’s working palace), the Royal Stables (where the Golden and Glass Coach are parked) and the Palace Garden. But there are many more buildings with a royal factor. Take Kneuterdijk Palace, that used to be the residence of William II and is now the seat of the Council of State, or the Kloosterkerk, the church where princess Beatrix would sometimes attend the service. During a walk, you’ll also learn where Máxima once ate ice cream and prince Bernhard bought his cigars.
