Luxury holidays in Hague

City by the sea, Den Haag — AKA The Hague — has a serious reputation as a righter of wrongs and solver of crimes. Yet its potential to entertain is similarly world-class, with charming architecture, a pedestrianised centre ribboned by trams and canals, and an arts scene both ancient and modern. Miles of sandy beaches and retro promenades at the city’s perimeter give rise to a hub that’s seductively urban and coastal.

When to go

The Hague’s coastal North Sea setting brings cool temperatures and regular rainfall, but the city has enough indoor attractions to compensate. July and August are the warmest months, but March and April are often the driest.

Getting there

  • Planes

    Rotterdam The Hague is the closest airport, around 15 minutes away by road, depending on where you’re staying in the city. Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport is closer to a 35-minute drive.
  • Trains

    To travel by rail to The Hague, you can take the Eurostar as far as Rotterdam, with onward 30-minute rail services to Den Haag Centraal. By air, touch down at Schiphol Airport, then pick up a direct train that’ll shuttle you into the city in around 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Automobiles

    You won’t need a car to explore this Dutch metropolis of trams and bicycles, which also has excellent rail connections; but if you are planning to drive, note that The Hague has a low-emissions zone with some vehicle restrictions.
