‘South Park’, as it is referred to by locals, was created in 1936 to offer The Hague inhabitants a place to convene and take part in recreational activities such as swimming, football and barbecuing. Those strolling through the verdant gardens in the summer months can also expect to see some entertaining spectacles like music performances and plays in the open-air theatre. This huge, time-honoured public space comprises an indoor swimming pool, fitness centre, restaurants, cafés, a deer enclosure and a football stadium where the local team plays.

Home to many timeless works of art such as 'Girl with the Pearl Earring' and 'The Goldfinch', the Mauritshuis Museum showcases the Dutch Golden Age of painting in all its splendour.

In their work, they are able to capture the essence of the Netherlands as a global powerhouse and one of the most prosperous nations in Europe throughout the seventeenth century.
