Publisher's Synopsis
The picturesque Dutch city of The Hague (also known as Den Haag) is located in western Netherlands. Although it is not the capital of the country, the city is the seat of the Dutch government, Supreme Court, Parliament, and Council of State and it is the administrative capital of the nation. With a number of international courts, state offices, and foreign embassies, the city may give the impression of being a boring and serious place to be, but nothing could be further from the truth. With medieval palaces, dozens of museums, the country's most popular sea resort, and a lively cultural scene, The Hague is one of the most vibrant cities in the Netherlands.
