Why The Hague?
The Hague, the country's de facto capital
Scheveningen forms a second cultural centre of The Hague, having its own Pathé cinema as well as the musical theatre Circustheater although, especially in the summer, most night life concentrates around the sea-front boulevard with its bars, restaurants and gambling halls.
King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands and Queen MĂĄxima of the Netherlands live in Huis ten Bosch in the Haagse Bos, and work in the Noordeinde Palace in the city centre. The Kneuterdijk Palace, built in 1716, is now home to the Council of State of the Netherlands, and the Lange Voorhout Palace is now occupied by the Escher Museum, dedicated to Dutch graphical artist M. C. Escher.
CAFĂS
My favorite cafés in the Hague
Momfer De Mol
A cafe where not only the quality of our food is of the utmost importance, but also the special atmosphere with guests who want to enjoy it. Cafe Momfer de Mol's kitchen uses the freshest, local produce to serve the best quality dishes.
Address:
Oude Molstraat 19
What I like about it
Beer, wine, coffee, tea and a huge selection of Van Kleef liqueurs. We are proud to serve Hertog Jan and we have 8 tap systems and many (special) beers in the bottle, so that you have the best selection.
Capriole Café
Everyone's favorite neighborhood cafe with a variety of breakfast and brunch options.

At the beautiful spot with a lovely terrace on the Fokkerhaven in The Hague, we serve tasty lunch dishes in a casual atmosphere during the day. At Capriole Café we serve classic and special lunch dishes (also vegan) with delicious sandwiches, salad, soup and hot street food.
Café De BieB

What I like about it
Directly on the water (including terrace boat) with a view of the Palace Garden.This modern brown neighborhood and city café is an ode to 'Queen B' and the illustrious beautiful cafés from that time when happiness was still very common.
