Viewpoint Binnenhof: a royal view of The Hague

Want to see The Hague from above? You can! The 28-metre-high yellow tower at the Binnenhof offers a fantastic panoramic view of the city. Whether you are a tourist in your own country or discovering The Hague for the first time, this is a must-do for anyone who loves impressive views.  

The viewpoint is located in an iconic spot: right next to the Binnenhof, the political heart of the Netherlands. From here, you can look out over historic buildings, the bustling city life and, on a clear day, even all the way to the coast! A perfect spot to literally take your Hague adventure to the next level.  

During the large-scale renovation of the Binnenhof, you can enjoy this viewpoint. The view also offers a good view of the construction site and the progress of the renovation. 

Omroep West (broadcaster) felt that the observation tower next to the Binnenhof deserved a fitting nickname and asked its listeners to come up with one: the ‘Kèkstègâh’ was born!

The climb to the top is definitely worth it. But it's one for the daredevils among us, because the higher you go, the more the tower seems to wobble. This is normal for this type of construction, so you're perfectly safe! Once at the top, you will be rewarded with a 360-degree view and a unique perspective on famous places in The Hague, such as the Hofvijver, the Mauritshuis and the Peace Palace. Don't forget your camera, because this is the perfect moment for an enviable photo! 

 

Nice to know

Even during the renovation of the Binnenhof, you can learn more about this historic place that has served as the political heart of Dutch democracy for centuries! A stone's throw from the Hofvijver, you will find the Binnenhof Renovation Information Centre. In this monumental building, you can immerse yourself in the 800-year history of the Binnenhof, learn more about the renovation and the future designs. Are you travelling with children? They can immerse themselves in an archaeological game, explore the Binnenhof with VR glasses and go on an exciting treasure hunt!
