The Mauritshuis is home to the very best of Dutch Golden Age painting. The compact, yet world-renowned collection, is situated in the heart of The Hague, right next to the government centre. Masterpieces such as Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring, The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp by Rembrandt, The Goldfinch by Fabritius and The Bull by Potter are on permanent display in the intimate rooms of this seventeenth-century monument.

Excellent museum with a large variety of paintings. Each room provides another opportunity for more great artwork. We spent a couple of hours observing. You could spend the good part of a day!

Too many variables! There are balls that you need to put in plastic columns. And these balls have marks on them with black pen. Try figuring out if it's a square or a circle!! Crazy!!!!

4. Oostpoort

Reviewed By jankI5365FG - Delft, The Netherlands
I live close by this historic building. Once, the city of Delft was completely walled against outside intruders (notably the Spanish troops), and had several town gates for passage. The Oostpoort (= East gate) is the last remaining example of these gates.
The setting is beautiful, and it is a favorite spot for newly weds to make their wedding photo's. It is for pedestrians and cyclists also a commonly used route to the town center, so be careful as there is no sidewalk...
This monument has been rented out by the municipality to a lady for 50 years in a row. On rare occasions it could be visited, because she organized Concerts with medieval music in the annex room above the arches. There was room for no more than 20 people.
Sadly, this lady passed away two years ago, and the place is now empy. Future plans with the Oostpoort are unknown to us. In the meantime all we can do is advise you to admire the splendor of this brick masterpiece of architecture from the outside.

6. Louwman Museum The Hague
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1 reviews
The Louwman Museum is home to the world's oldest private collection of motor cars, compiled by two generations of the Louwman family. The museum dates back to 1934 and now comprises over two hundred and fifty antique and classic motor cars. Experts regard the collection as one of the most beautiful in the World. The museum exudes passion. Each car has its own story to tell, its own contribution to history. The motor car is a mirror of culture. The collection is housed in a purpose-built museum in The Hague, the city where P.W. Louwman established his Dodge and Chrysler import company. The building, designed by American architect Michael Graves, blends in sympathetically with its historic surroundings. The landscape Gardens, designed by Lodewijk Baljon, complement the architecture of the building.

I like cars and history - that's an important thing with this museum. The building itself is also a good example of post-modern architecture. Are not not really interested in either then go see something else in The Hague. You'll need at least 2 hours to walk through the museum which gives you a good overview of the development of cars from the very beginning. You will also find many celebritiy cars from The Godfather, Elvis, Winston Churchill. There are special temporary Exhibitions so check out the website before coming. The museum also has the most kitch museum café I have ever seen in my life.

One of the most charming cities we have visited. The weather was perfect and the city was alive and vibrant. We were amazed at how many people and especially families rode bicycles. The canals seemed cleaner than others we've seen. The people were very friendly. And of course we had to go in all the shops that had the Delft Ceramics, visit the Vermeer Museum and have lunch.

Having worked in Rijswijk for many years I have come to appreciate Rijswijkse Bos as a cute little forest to take a stroll in.
The forest was once home to a small palace where the treaty of Rijswijk was signed. An obelisk marks the place of the former palace.

Reviewed By DebB131959 - Taunton, United Kingdom
We arrived to the smell of 'muck spreading' from the city farm next door. Very friendly staff on reception, excellent English spoken. Clean toilet block, all separate showers and basins. Pitches had a plastic mesh under grass which meant our wedges to level our motorhome slipped out initially until we used pegs. Pitches were quite wide but very narrow 'roads' in between so felt a little cramped. Could walk into Delft which is beautiful, lots of attractive buildings and canals. Ikea nearby. We're used to a quiet road so for us there was a fair bit of road noise at night.
