The Royal Palace of the Hague, also serving as the monarch’s workplace, may not be as exuberant as its counterpart in Amsterdam, but it is an impressive city centrepiece nonetheless. Built as a farmhouse in 1533, it was reformed and repurposed several times over the years, accommodating such pivotal historical figures as Voltaire and notable monarchs such as King Willem I until its most recent extensions in 1984, which have turned it into a working palace, where political and state affairs take place daily. The palace gardens are open to the public throughout the day and make a nice spot for a picnic, where anyone can enjoy the ponds, flowerbeds and marble statues with views of the royal stables, archives and the Dome of Fagel. Look out for the hidden corridors leading to the Old Hague District in one of the corners of the gardens.

The Museum of Modern Greek Art (MGA) is a major cultural institution spread across three buildings in the city's Northern part, showcasing the creative genius of 20th-century Greek artists. You'll encounter a rich array of paintings, sculptures, and drawings from luminaries like Maleas, Bouzianis, Kontoglou, Theofilos, Vassiliou, and Hadzikyriakos-Gikas. Each building offers a unique glimpse into the world of modern Greek art, making it a must-see for any art aficionado.

Dating back as early as the 13th century, this late medieval building is the oldest remaining parliamentary court still in use today. It was first built as a castle and home to the various counts of Holland, but after several battles for succession, the Binnenhof changed hands many times and, in the process, saw many new administrative buildings erected around it. Extensive renovations are currently underway and not expected to finish before 2028, so politicians have had to find elsewhere to conduct their business. Tours of the surrounding areas are available and more information can be obtained at the Binnenhof Renovation Information Centre, which is right next to the complex.

St Paul's Bay, snuggled against the southeast coast near the enchanting village of Lindos, is a haven of sun and sea. The bay is split into two coves: the southern one buzzes with activity and offers amenities like sun loungers and a café, while its northern counterpart offers a quieter, more tranquil vibe. With water so irresistibly turquoise, you'll find folks diving off nearby rocks. Whether you're a couple, a family, or a band of friends, this is your invitation to bask and snorkel in unparalleled beauty.
