About
In this private excursion we will start heading to the city of Rotterdam, where we will make a panoramic visit, also making some stop to observe from close up places like the Markthal, the Church of Saint Laurent or the famous Cube Houses.
Rotterdam had to be completely rebuilt after the bombing suffered in the Second World War, therefore, we will find a city different from Amsterdam, highlighting its contemporary architecture innovative and groundbreaking, referring to world-wide.
Next, we will go to The Hague, the administrative capital of the country, where the Parliament is located, a group of buildings that is known as "Binnenhof", being the oldest parliamentary complex in use in the world. Large avenues, majestic buildings, palaces, embassies and large expanses of green areas give this city a stately air.
On our tour we will also visit the "Palais Noordeinde", the King’s work center, the prestigious museum of Mauritshuis and the Peace Palace, seat of the International Court of Justice, where we will make a stop.
To finish the tour we will head for Scheveningen, the maritime district of The Hague. There we can admire its long sandy beach, the docks or the lighthouse. The beach is also famous for water sports such as surfing, windsurfing and kitesurfing.
As it is a private visit, the client can enjoy free time to take photos or make purchases. The itinerary can be agreed at the beginning of the tour to adapt it to the wishes of the client, always considering the duration of the tour.
