Things to do in Binnenhof
Visit the historical Binnenhof (Inner Court) situated in the city center of The Hague, next to the Hofvijver. The complex of buildings houses are the meeting place of both houses of the States General, as well as the Ministry of General Affairs and the office of the Prime Minister of the Netherlands. This place has been the location of meetings of the Dutch parliament since 1446, and the center of Dutch politics for centuries.
Built in the 13th century, the Gothic castle was originally a residence for the Counts of Holland and became the political center of the Dutch Republic in 1584. Additional buildings were added around the court including the most famous part of the Binnenhof, the Ridderzaal (Knights’ Hall), where the King holds his annual speech at Prinsjesdag every third Tuesday of September.
Step inside Het Binnenhof for a look through the Ridderzaal and the First and/or the Second Chamber of Parliament. Start with an introductory video that explains the history of the Dutch parliament and the parliamentary buildings. Then, you can explore the House of Representatives.

Reviews Binnenhof
“Die versprochenen Städteführungen fanden nicht statt, es gab nur Stadtrundfahrten mit dem Bus. Die Freizeiten waren viel zu kurz um sich etwas anzuschauen oder in Ruhe zu Essen. Auch gab es nicht die versprochenen Ansagen in Deutsch - nur in Englisch und Spanisch. Die Erwartungen und die Freude auf diesen Ausflug waren groß und wurden sehr enttäuscht .”
“No es lo mismo pasear por una ciudad que recorrer cada espacio con alguien que te comente lo vivido ahí!”
“Was erg leuk en Max wist erg veel en vertelde leuk, jammer dat wij eerder moesten stoppen(4pers) omdat op de site staat 2,5 u dus hadden wij nog een andere activiteit die om 2 u was, zonder overleg met ons een koffiestop, dus toch nog veel gemist helaas”
“Was heel leuk en Max deed het ook heel goed, wist er veel van. Alleen jammer dat wij (4 personen) niet alles hebben kunnen zien omdat wij een vlg activiteit hadden gepland om 2 uur en normaal gesproken was de fietstocht tot 1 uur, maar de rest van de groep wilden een koffiestop,beter in overleg doen”
