Hello stil there?
Still living?
I went to Amsterdam in 2019 and decided to add a couple of days in The Hague. So glad I did. Well worth a visit.
It's a beautiful city isn't it?
Very helpful video. I was thinking of omitting The Hague between trips to Bruges and Amsterdam but this convinced me. Enjoyed the enthusiasm for the city. Nice work!
The Hague is BEAUTIFUL,
many Dutch themselves don't even know, can you believe that ?
Mostly they skipp The Hague city by hitting the beach and only the beach...
Nice vid by the way !!!
I agree, it's a great city. Hopefully this video will help put it on the map for locals too :) Thank you so much for your support
It's by far the most interesting city to be in. Don't get me wrong, I love amsterdam. But in terms of special things to see The Hague is miles ahead!
Thank you for this video. I'm from the Hague and i hope many people wil come to this city. It's beautiful but most people don't know that because they only visit Amsterdam.
Hi Alberto! Thank you so much. I’m so glad you enjoyed it. I was blown away with how beautiful The Hague is and how much there is to do there. Such a great city 😊
My grandparents are from The Hague, but immigrated to Los Angeles, California in the 1950’s, after World War II. I’m second generation born in America. Lol! I love The Hague and have been there a few times.
It's a wonderful city isn't it? I'd love to go back :)
The Intrepid Guide agreed!
Beautiful old city. Your description is priceless.
Makes me eager to visit.
loved seeing this video. Michelle your delivering quality content with an uplifting joyful spirit. Two thumbs up!
Great video, thanks for making it. I'm just home from an amazing 36 hour break in Den Haag and I was astonished at how beautiful the city was! I wish I'd gone there in my 20's, I might never have left!
Aww that's so lovely to hear :) So glad you enjoyed the video ;)
Great job in introducing The Hague! You speak so well!
This seems to be a very interesting place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
Thank you for this video. Iam from The Hague. I loved all the places you just showed. I have been to all the museums in this video. I so love the hague. I come her a lot to just walk and look. I live now in Rotterdam. But The Hague for me is number 1❤❤❤❤
This is a wonderful example of what a travel vlog should be... Well informed and energising... An underatimated city well explained... by a pretty woman, as it is
thank you for your very kind words. I try to be informative as much as possible and provide real value :)
Come and see it for yourself!

Dutch girl here, I've been to Den Haag multiple times but never as like a tourist but I have to be there for a few hours this tuesday and I wanted to do some 'touristy things in my own country' and this guide had some good advice and I loved the fun facts (I had no idea hihi) Thanx for the video!
I appreciate your kind words and feedback. I'm so glad you enjoyed it and found it useful :)
Thanks for showing my city! very nice editing! I bike through the old city and the binnenhof every day to work, so I really get to appreciate it! :D
Thank you so much :) Binnenhof is a beautiful area. I'm so happy you enjoyed this video :)
Such a cool video. So many fun facts. Keep up the good work.👍
Thanks Basil! So glad you enjoyed it :)
I can see your beauty is not just outward.. it comes from within.
Thank you :)
Great video! Perfect mix of entertaining and educating. Great job!
I'm so glad to hear that. Thank you for your kind words and support :)
I was just in the Hague! It's beautiful! Now i'll know what to do next time!
Thanks Yali, I"m so glad you found the video helpful. It's such a great a city! :)
Thanks for the tips! Ill be there in about a week. Your accent sounds very beautiful to a mono lingual American like myself.
I love Den Haag. So glad you included the amazing painting Panorama Mesdag!
Glad you enjoyed it ❤️
This was an amazing video! I actually learned something about my own city! thank you.
Nino Van Raamsdonk that’s so amazing! Thank you so much! I’m so happy to hear that 😃 🤓
I’d love to hear what you learned too
😀
The Netherlands is definitely on my list of places I want to visit someday. What a beautiful country.
yes, it’s stunning 🤩
What a happy video.. Makes us happy too.. It is indeed a great city.. you make it look even greater..
thank you so much for your support :)
Great video Michelle! I loved the little Dutch lesson!! :D
aww thanks lovely! It took so long to film and piece together but I'm happy with the results :) Hahaha yeah, I do love to share a few useful phrases.
@@theintrepidguide The time and effort in production really shine through. This is the first time I'm seeing your vlog, and have to commend you on AMAZING quality filming, editing, etc. Very well done!
@@fishtownpharmacy8553 Thank you so much. That really means a lot ;) I'm so glad you enjoyed it
I lived there until I was 18 - wonderful city! Still one of the nicest I know.....
That’s wonderful 😀 100% agree
Watching this video makes me miss Den Haag
Loved your video! Love my city Den Haag 💯
Thank you so much 😊 I love your city too 🤩
Nice video. Thanks to share with everyone. Greetings from Belgium
Thank you so much :)
That's a great video. Excellent little piece. I know how to pronounce the Hague in dutch now : )
+Antony Svasek haha thanks Antony! I'll have to test you in a week of so
Hallo, hoe gaat het met iedereen :) I have passion to learn Dutch and join in with the Dutch people as I have Anglo-Saxon native English background from Norfolk/Suffolk UK. I live in the middle of the UK but I am planning to visit Nederlands regularly to explore the cultural and explore the beautiful and peaceful parts of Nederlands and try out cycling while on short holidays including the Dutch food. I hear very positive feedback that people are very friendly and honest. So I am just introducing myself to the community to say hoi.
That sounds wonderful, Harvey. The Dutch are a lovely people :) Best of luck with your language learning :)
Hi Harvey, you could do worse than pick The Hague as your base of operations. Rotterdam is 19 min by train, Leiden, Gouda and Delft are within easy biking distance (
@@Cl0ckcl0ck Aw thank you for that. Yes places like Leiden, Gouda and Delft are good places to visit. People say to me "go to Amsterdam". I think Amsterdam has had its day and just a too busy place for party and drugs. Yes Amersfoort and Breda I have heard are nice places. I am sort of a culture person to visit towns & villages in Zeeland and Noord-Brabant areas. Yes it will be good experience to go on the Dutch trains. I will be hiring a left-hand drive car as I don't do planes. I like to travel in a car. Thank you about WW2 area. That will be interesting to see.
Got to know things that I didn't know about my city from your video.
Funny to see because i live in the center of the hague, been for my entire life. Even for me it was informative..
When you want to drink something you should go to grote markt, a square with all the cafes
Awesome video Michelle x
Thanks so much Melinda xx
Great Video. I travelled to the Netherlands from Sydney back in 2012. April had an unusually extended winter. Luckily I packed plenty of wooliies. I didn’t realise Rotterdam was so far by train. Just over 3 hours! It was so cold and drissly. I liked Utrecht. About an hour by train from Amsterdam central. It was a Sunday and had a great lunch at a cafe by the canal. There was even arm in arm dancing in a church. So I highly recommend anyone travelling to the Netherlands to check out Utrecht, The Hague and Delft.
3 hours??? From Amsterdam to Rotterdam is 1 hours by (intercity) train.
The Hague (Den Haag) is on the way and only 45 minutes.
From Amsterdam to Maastricht all the way to the South of the country, where they speak a different language (Limburgs) is only 2.5 hours.
And to Groningen in the North is also 2.5 hours from Amsterdam with an intercity train. You must have looked at the times of a 'stoptrain' that have stops in every little city on the way.
There are only a few trains that you have to reserve for or some have a small extra pay. And on nearly all routes, trains run every half an hour or even more often.
@@NL2500 Limburgian is just a Dutch dialect by the way .....(come on)😉
For future travellers: The Hague has 2 bigger train stations. Central Station and Holland Spoor. If you want to travel to Rotterdam from the Central Station you need to take another train in Gouda (or Utrecht) to Rotterdam, it can be done but it will take a lot longer. The trains from Holland Spoor take 19 minutes to get to Rotterdam Cental Station. :)
@@NL2500 Probably left from Den Haag Centraal and not Den Haag Holland Spoor.
Tsys
Awesome video
thank you for this video🤩
My pleasure :) Thank you :)
I live in the Hague, but I still get sentimental when I watch this. 😂❤
beautiful Netherlands land of tulip, daffodil, narcissus and bikes will love to visit Haque oh sorry Den Haag in Dutch its museum, palaces, culture inspired me a lot. Love and respect from India.
I'm so glad! It's a beautiful city and country and the locals are lovely too :)
The Intrepid Guide it is and the way you showcase them was an awesome effort. Keep up the good work
thank you so much for your kind words:)
Thanks! We will be there in just over 2 weeks. At least we hope to be.
Have a wonderful trip!
Excellent
Born and raised in "bezuidenhout". And i will never leave! 💚💛
hey, i am travelling to Den Haag next month....so this really helped.
Oh I'm so glad to hear that Subarna. I hope you have a wonderful trip! :) Let me know how it goes!
The Intrepid Guide ...sure. I was clueless till the time I saw ur video. U have a presentation skill. When would u come to India?
+Subarna Sen I’m glad you enjoyed the video. No plans for India yet but it’s on my list 😊
Great video! :)
thank you so much :)
Glad to hear that you like The Hague! It's a pretty calm place, (almost) no crimes, cold weather.. and more! So i'm to hear all your positive comments, about the city i live in!
I can't rave about it enough. The Hague really is such a wonderful city :) You're lucky to live there
@justbeing. The Hague is a fantasy name, the real name for the city is Den Haag, which everyone can pronounce. Ancient placenames confirm the identity of the land and its people.
Great!! I live in The Hague 😁
Thank you so much :)
Thank you,will look at this again when I get there,I'm leaving in 2.5 weeks
My pleasure :) So glad you enjoyed it! Have a wonderful trip!
Way better than Amsterdam and twice as cheap! Like your video! Thanks!
thank you so much for your support :)
amazing ❤❤❤
Thank you so much 😊
Awesome vedio
I worked as a tourist guide for a while in The Hague. Small detail: The passage is a exact two-third scale copy from the same structure Milan, Italy. It's fun to know, because if you visit Milano , you can see it's bigger brother. (So nothing to do with ''Paris.'.. )
Very cool! Thanks for sharing :)
Wish I would have had time to go when I was in the Netherlands. We only did Rotterdam, Amsterdam and Utrecht.
Thank you so much, Marc-André 😁 I’m yet to visit Utrecht, how was it?
My city oh oh den haag mooie stad achter de duinen 😍
I live near the Binnenhof en Hofvijver pretty cool the city hall is walking distance from me
That is VERY cool! It's so beautiful there :)
i did suscribe to your chaannel. That was a greeat tour oF the Hague. Do more
Thank you for your support :)
I’m going there for a competition and i chose here cause i never heard of it and i want to know more about the world
Thanks for info
My pleasure :) That sounds amazing! You'll have a wonderful time :)
Where do they find this terrible woman
@@gijsbertusjacobusvermeulen783 ?
Great info on Netherlands flag and Russians that were envy to adopt the colours .
Thank you so much, Olga :) I'm so happy you enjoyed it :)
Hi, amazing video and also very positive and instructive, i will move to The Hague as an intern next august, can you give me some advices about the city and how to get a nice kamar, or should i settle for a place with some relatives i got in Amsterdam and prepare myself for a daily trip from The Hague to Amsterdam ?
A little late but maybe good to know for others: settle for a place if you have one and take the train to The Haque, its almost impossible to find a place to stay even for Dutch people, the prices are insane... If I would know a way I would tell all my friends desperatly seeking a place to stay first, sorry... ;-)
@@sunnya.2665 ahahhah I went 3 years ago and stayed in The Hague for 3 months. I had so much fun, overall a positive stay.
@@SJawaher Thats great! You are a lucky girl :D Glad you had a good time!!
@@sunnya.2665 Ahah yes I have the best luck! Thank you for your kindness
The Netherlands is Country The best . I respect and love the Netherlands.
I want Live in the Netherlands
Hello! I am planning to visit here now from the ship, Netherlands is still open right? And are there entrance fees to the museums? Thanks hehe
Hi! How exciting! The laws are always changing so it's hard to say but for information about entrance fees, you can visit my guide here bit.ly/The-Hague-Guide
Love the video!! You just got the pronunciations wrong at 1;47 !!
Gibt es keine neue Videos von Dir. Das hat uns immer sehr gut gefallen
Thanks for the nice video. Just one comment: the Mauritshuis museum was the (opulent) residence of the governor of Suriname, not a royal palace.
Can you share more about war cemeteries in the Hague?
Near the Peace Palace, what was the paper on the tree?
Hi Lesley, these were messages of peace that people could write and hang on the tree :)
How is weather in october? Should we take thick coats?
The weather ranges between cool and mild. I think you should bring something warm but I doubt you'll need it everyday :)
V.Nice
Thank you 😊
Never been to netherlands. It's not on my bucketlist, but like, would not say no to a trip.
It’s a really wonderful country. I highly recommend visiting when you can 😀
Best travel vlog style ever! Keep up the vibe!
Thank you so much 😊that means so much to me. I put a lot of effort into my videos and this is one of my favourites. I really appreciate your kind words of support 🙌 danke je

Hello form London! :)
In the history of the Dutch Royal House three times the royal authority was observed by a regent. Queen Regent Emma was in 1890 when her husband King Willem III was seriously ill and after his death she was for 8 years for her daughter Queen Wilhelmina. In 1947 and 1948 Queen Wilhelmina temporarily laid down royal authority due to fatigue, her daughter Princess Juliana then acting as regent. The Council of State has only observed royal authority when King William III was declared out of government in 1889 and 1890 due to illness.
Fascinating :) Thank you for sharing!
Scheveningen, good try. I swear we make the cities just the hardest possible names to pronounce haha. Ik vind Den Haag leuk :)
+Devon haha thanks, it was such a tonguetwister.
I believe Schevenigen is pronounced "skay-vah-neigh-ga". I need to learn how to say it, because I'm moving there!
Rebecca Burns did you move there? I'm getting ready to move in January!
Love the place! Rather hear you than the music tho.........Actually, at times, all I could hear was the music!
Do we need to buy a ticket for Binnenhof and Peace palace or they are free to visit on weekends ?
Hi Shahzeb, you can wander around the Binnenhof ground without a ticket. The only way you can go inside is if you go on a tour. As for the Peace Palace, there is a visitor centre that is open everyday but to go inside the palace itself you need to book a tour. For more details, please visit my blog post www.theintrepidguide.com/things-to-do-in-the-hague-netherlands
The Intrepid Guide thanks
The language sound a bit like Afrikaans , I won't have any trouble in communicating ,that's a great relief.
Yes, it's very similar as Afrikaans evolved from Dutch. If you do get stuck though, English is also widely spoken :)
ik lief DEN HAAG
I am netherlands
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHA
mooiste is Panorama Mesdag.
Holaaa te sigo en instragram
Ek lief nederland
ik ook! :)
Nice vlog! I love my city. Two things: Scheveningen is pronounced: vimeo.com/213058684. And the Mauritshuis, was a city palace but not a royal palace, there never lived a queen there (or king).
Thanks for sharing ;)
jeej ik leef in Den Haag
My maiden name was Hague
Pitty is, like all these vlogs, you only get to see the centre of the city with the gouvernement buildings and the hofvijver, Scheveningen and the ''peacepalace'' ( International court of justice). The Hague has far more nice places to visit.
I'd seen many vedios different places in nertherland it's so lovely theirs serenity. Peaceful .no traffic no pollution. How I wish our country to be like nertherland
@@limapugoy1794, don't forget, video's only show the nice parts, we have our problems ass well, most people are not so peacefull as you might think, we hae 10.000.000 cars in this small country and constructionsides have been closed down, thanks to the high pollution rate. Btw, where are you from?
@@reneglw thank you for the information your right .I only see the best part. Have a nice day.
@@reneglw I am from the Philippines.
I reckon you are Australian? I hear some of a aussie shrine? Are you an Aussie "sheila" haha!
Yup, I sure am ;)
Dutch flag was actually the first tricolor flag. Everybody else copied it. France, Kroatia, Russia, Slovenia, England and so forth.
Easy bekifft?? :) mission den hague right agreement
Wordt steeds erger wordt in de winlel ook al in het engels aangesproken en als je zegt dat je hollands spreekt dan kijken ze raar op
