The Hague (Den Haag) is the third largest city in the Netherlands, located on the western coast and belonging to the province of South Holland. Although Amsterdam is the constitutional capital, The Hague is the administrative center of the Netherlands and the seat of government, the International Court of Justice, the Dutch Parliament and the Royal Residence are located here, known as the "international peace and justice" reputation.
The Hague has a rich historical heritage, such as the Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Morettes, which houses such masterpieces as Vermeer's "Girl with a Pearl Earring". The Peace Palace, a symbol of international law, embodies the city's diplomatic tradition. The downtown area combines classical architecture with modern design, such as the medieval courtyard of the Binnenhof and contemporary art spaces.
As the headquarters of UN agencies and multinational corporations, The Hague's economy is dominated by the legal, scientific and energy industries. The city's proximity to the North Sea beaches, its peaceful and livable atmosphere, and its easy access to public transportation make it a central destination for exploring Dutch politics and culture.
