The Hague: Political Powerhouse and Cultural Hub

Your first stop is The Hague, the seat of the Dutch government and home to important institutions.

Next, a visit to the Mauritshuis offers an opportunity to admire Dutch master paintings, including works by Vermeer and Rembrandt. The entry tickets are included, so you can focus solely on appreciating the art without fussing over tickets or queues. One reviewer mentioned that although they couldn’t go inside the government buildings themselves, the outside views and paintings were just as captivating, especially with the guide providing plenty of historical background.

Delft: Dutch Craftsmanship and Cultural Charm

Post-Hague, your journey continues to Delft, famous for its Blue Pottery. This stop is a highlight for many, as it offers a chance to see traditional Dutch craftsmanship up close.
