Great tour! I was in Den Hague back in 2000 on a day trip from Amsterdam. I really enjoyed the city. Great mix of beautiful older buildings and interesting modern architecture! I also was impressed with the passages (arcades). Madoradam (sp?) (the miniature Holland) was also really cool.

Ah man for that picture I thought wow Hague was huge, vast-spreading, and the Netherlands was not that small, man. But then it indicated that was Hague looking to Rotterdam, then I was like, wawawehwah, the Netherlands was indeed tiny.

Den Haag is awesome, that´s it, I´m gonna move, right now! Perfect mix of old and new, and the beach a few minutes from the city center isn´t bad either. Thank you for the tour.
