Big City Little City
Check into one of the delightful hotels Scheveningen has to offer. The area has many and they offer up some great hospitality. You may want to just snuggle up and get some rest but don’t for get to get out and see the near by sights of the Scheveningen area. There is a lot of history and museums to see because this port coast has bee around for a very long time.
If you want to see a big city with a great mix of historical and modern buildings and busyness than visit to Den Haag. The Hague is the not to capital of the Netherlands but it is a very important city. Major governmental and Financial complexes are running from the Hague. The world courts, International Court of Justice, are located in this city. You can find it at the Peace Palace. It is a division of the United Nations. On another big city plane you could catch a train up to Amsterdam which is the capital of the Netherlands but gives a whole other picture of it has a great blend of proper and not so proper business going on. There are some amazing buildings to see. This was once just a little port town that became very important and now sits as a major city of importance.
How about some sweet Dutch buildings that give a picture of some of the neighborhoods from multiple areas of the country in one place. Visit the Madurodam. It is a miniature city. A large model of a Dutch town built at one and a quarter scale. If you want to feel like a giant for the afternoon you can wonder around between the neighborhoods of this large model. it is so quaint and has become quite the attraction. It was built in 1952 and has seen about millions of people who have stopped by to check out the craftsmanship. It was named after George Maduro who became a hero in his fight against the Nazi forces.
