Den Haag Netherlands has been a city of turning for a very long time. So many things have happened and continue to happen to day. I has become quite an important city since its small beginning. It makes a worldly contribution every single day. If you find yourself here at one of the fine hotels Den Haag has and are looking for more information there is a lot to be found. Like many other cities of Europe there is that fantastic blend of old and new in everything. If you are from the young America then it is so amazing to stand in the streets of a city that is been developing for centuries.

The Hague, as it is also known as, has some great museums and buildings to admire. If you go down to the political center of the city you will see what I mean with the blend of old and new architecture. There is the charming bricks, arches, domes and windows of older days mixed in with modern sculptured steel buildings. And what goes on in these buildings is very important to peace and justice for the whole world. Take a guided tour of the Binnenhof buildings. There you will see the Dutch parliament buildings, the Hofvijver and the Hall of Knights, Ridderzaal.

Next you have the museums and art buildings. The Maritshuis is an old mansion built in the 17th century. It is now an art gallery that has many Dutch and Flemish paintings. There you will find some art work created by Rembrandt, Vermeer and Rubens. It is an amazing building to see. The Escher Museum is also inside an old building that was a Palace. Inside, is an exhibit of famous Dutch artist M.C. Escher.  He was famous for his work in tessellations and impossible objects. He uses many art mediums to create some eye catching art.
