I had no idea how much I would love The Hague! It’s a beautiful and peaceful city, crisscrossed with canals, extremely walkable, full of many excellent restaurants, and with public transportation that makes it easy to get everywhere else in Holland. And on top of all that charm and livability, it has an incredible world-class museum right in the middle of it, the Mauritshius, which has a collection of works by artists like Vermeer, Rubens, Holbein, and Rembrandt! My husband Nowell and I were very happy with our decision to make The Hague our home-base in Holland.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n As we walked to the Mauristhuis museum we stopped for a photo at this stunning view of the Dutch Parliament. The 13th-century Binnenhof is the oldest parliament building still in use. The body of water before it is called the Hofvijver which means “court pond”. It’s stunning to see such beauty in the middle of a city… and look at that classic Dutch sky!<\/span><\/wow-image><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n<\/span>The Maurithuis museum was just a 15-minute flat and picturesque stroll from our hotel, so we arrived fresh and ready for an exciting dose of ART! This is a stunning collection with several very famous gems, including Vermeer’s <\/span>Girl with the Pearl Earring<\/span><\/em> and <\/span>View of Delft,<\/span><\/em> as well as Fabritius’ <\/span>Goldfinch.<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
