The Hague

The flag parade along the Court pond in The Hague with the Dutch Parliament buildings at the left.

This is the inner courtyard of the Parliament buildings with the "Ridderzaal" (Knight Hall) where the King in september reads the King's speech to open the Parliaments year.

The nice gateway to enter or leave the inner courtyard.

  7. Make sure you work hard to keep these beautiful buildings. Here old buildings are bulldozed right away.
