    I have two recommendations!
    One of the best restaurants of the Hague is Krishna Vilas. They have some more expensive curries, but the dosas are cheap and somehow a dosa is even more food than a curry. Everything on the menu is delicious!
    Also! Roses are in blossom and there is a free rosarium in Westbroekpark. I haven't been this season, but this week should be the week to go.

  • @Annatar3469
    @Annatar3469 3 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Some more suggestions:
    -Brasserie Berlage for a drink (behind het Gemeente Museum)
    -The garden of het Nutshuis also as a terrace (quite hidden)
    -Landgoed Clingendael (especially the Japanese garden open only a few times a year though)
    -Favourite beach: by the Kwartel. Very calm, and very nice dunes.
    -Do make sure to visit some of the Indonesian restaurants!!! I recommend Didong.
    -Many museums to visit but I recommend the very understated Gallerij Willem V. It's very small but a great collection.

    Yay! Welcome to The Hague! I would recommend visiting De Verademing in the morning, it has a huge playground with sand which is great for all ages. Anytime before 3 is best, after that lots of school kids come to play. It's also a nice place to meet other parents and there are lots of groups all over the park throughout the day (yoga, bootcamp, tai chi and boxing) It's located between 3 different neighbourhoods so the crowd is very diverse, just like the Hague 😀

    Your video style and editing are so cool! I was born in Den Haag but lived abroad for ages, now I'm back and am discovering it myself since last year. The side of the Weimarstraat from het Regentesseplein and het Zeeheldenkwartier are fun to just walk around and get food and maybe do some shopping, and my favourite museum of all time is the photography museum, next to the omniversum in het statenkwartier. Not just the exhibits, but the architecture of the building as well. I hope that'll give you a little bit more to explore.

    The Zuiderpark may be a nice suggestion; there is a huge open grass field flanked by a large pond, there is a "kinderboerderij" where children can pet farm animals, there is a deer camp at the other end and there is a rosarium and a miniature steam train club (they are apparently open on wednesday and sunday) among other things.
    Also in the Reinkenstraat there is a bakery (bakkerij Hessing) that sells a delicacy from The Hague called "Haagse Kakker", which is a big round raisin bread filled with a rich and sweet cinnamon-like paste. Definitely worth a try!

    Great video Casey! I'm from Melbourne and have been living in Den Haag for about 3 years now and I love it. It reminds me of Melbourne sometimes, but better in that it's so compact and you can get everywhere by bike or PT really easily. If you're looking for the best food, you can't beat 'De Fred' or Frederik Hendriklaan. It's a little bit more expensive that other places around town but the quality is fantastic.

  • @EraYaN
    @EraYaN 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Also that one place to buy everything? That the Albert Heijn and Jumbo for you (or the other large grocers). Prices are all within like cents of each other too for the most part, it’s a very competitive market. Especially the larger version of those supermarkets have almost everything you might need if you hit up some “toko” afterwards if you need anything very specific.

    On Wednesdays there's also a bio vegetable market in the Hofplaats area every Wednesday. Stuff is super good! At Prinsestraat 59 there's a really nice small beer shop with a lot of offers! They change weekly or daily, not sure. You can actually buy a gallon thingy for like 7,5€ (???) and then you can come back with the same bottle and refill whenever you want for a lower price. If you give the bottle back you get the money back! Kompaan is also a great brewery and there's a building with a bunch of artist collectives nearby. If you're into concerts and contemporary art pay attention to Amare, in Spui. A lot of art institutions (including Het Koninklijk Conservatorium, my school

    What sets The Hague apart from other Dutch cities is that it has multiple village-like communities living within, each with a center, shops and facilities. Try het Statenkwartier or de Bomenbuurt, for instance. Also, The Hague is known among Dutch cities for its many parks: het Haagse Hout, het Scheveningse Bos, de Bosjes van Poot, Clingendael, and so on! Great for a picnic or just some peace and quiet away from the busy roads.

    Casey, if you live near the Haagse Markt, we live pretty close to eachother. I’m near ‘het Zuiderpark’ where every year one of the biggest free music festivals is held (Parkpop), although there is talk of moving the festival to the Malieveld, which is in the city center 😩 Being born and raised in The Hague, I’m obviously biased, but yeah, Amsterdam is fun (for like going out or a weekend), but it’s basically a tourist trap, with crazy prices. And I watch a lot of expat video’s and they all do their grocery shopping at Albert Heijn, which is the most expensive supermarket. After that comes Jumbo and the cheapest is Lidl. There’s also Dirk, Spar and Aldi, but I don’t shop there much. In the summer I usually hang out at the beach, but never in Scheveningen (too crowded). Sometimes I’ll go to Kijkduin, which is being transformed atm, but since the entire west coast of the Netherlands is basically one long beach, there are many coastal towns to visit. And if you like shopping, check out the big ass mall Leidschenhage, which is pretty new.

    Sorghvliet Park is beautiful with interesting history., No dogs or bikes allowed so..very clean and quiet. You need to buy a card/membership at VVV to get in. Park rangers will ask for your card.

    Congratulations with breaking out of the Amsterdam myth! I lived for about 12 years in Den Haag, Vruchtenbuurt and we will return there when I retire. I lived there with my ex, who happens to be Australian :-) from Adelaide. We found that the best beaches were the Tussenstranden between Kijkduin and Scheveningen. Quieter. A very nice area to just stroll and enjoy snacks to eat in the park is starting at Anna Paulownaplein and walk the streets that connects the squares like Prins Hendrikplein, Koningsplein, Regentesseplein, up to Weimarstraat in summer when everyone enjoyes them selves around the fountains.
    Den Haag is so much more livable than Amsterdam! Good on ya!

      Well, just like in many other countries, Amsterdam is the largest, and the most important/influential city in/of the Netherlands; so, it comes naturally (with the famous name, and reputation) that the costs of living in Amsterdam are going to be higher than the costs of living in Den Haag, Rotterdam, and/or Utrecht (all, "second cities" of the Netherlands).

    Beach activity is dependent on location... for example if you go to the beach at Scheveningen, you won't see that much for its not allowed there, due to the amount of people there often.
    And Chinatown, lol... it's basically 1 street where a bunch of chinese shops are...
    The Hague Market... yeah, that's great.
    For other places, visit:
    Oud Rijswijk (Herenstraat, tram 1 and 15),
    Van Hoytemastraat and Weissenbruchstraat
    Beeklaan (down from the crossing Laan van Meerdervoort)
    Uithof
    winkelcentrum In de Boogaard
    also, the city center shopping is a LOT larger than most people realize. It's between the Torenstraat-Jan Hendrickstraat-boekhorststraat and Central Station, and between Bierkade-dunne bierkade-zuidwal-Schedeldoekhaven and Javastraat
    Visit "Het Mauritshuis" next to the parliament.

    Your title has every 'hagenees' say "eh Yeah, we know..." on your to-do list also has to go :having lunch at the 'Paleis tuinen' have a look at the ' Haagse grachten' and Jugendstil house at Smitswater 26 and visit Parc Clingendael (pronounced klingendaal) it has a spectacular Japanese garden, and some wartime mementos in the form of a antitank moat (now filled with water) and some big bunkers.

    I'd reccomend Zuiderpark, if you haven't been there already! Its a decent size park with a couple of playgrounds spread across. And on nice days people go there for picknicks and even take their portable BBQs there :)
    Theres also a Chinese restaurant with a party venue and indoor playground, and swimming pool on one side of the park. (idk if they are still currently closed?)
    And also, de verademing! It's a nice chilled park on top of a little "hill" with a pretty large playground
    I'm sure there's a whole lot nicer places out here 🙈😂 but these are our "to go to" on a nice day with the kids haha

  • @Baru1994
    @Baru1994 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yes The Hague is so much better indeed! We have everything here that you need and that in a mix with nature and history. I would recommend you to check out Haagsche Bos, Peace Palace, other beaches like Zuiderstrand (Kijkduin), ''De Fred'' (Frederik Hendrikstraat), try out some Indonesian toko's (my personal favorites are Bumbu Jawa, Si Pentje, De Javaan), Baladi Manouche for amazing Lebanese streetfood, fresh fish (Simonis aan de Haven is great fun to sit, Simonis op de Hoek for takeaway or Het Haringhuisje), lots of nice authentic Turkish places as well. Grapes & Olives is a winebar behind Noordeinde Palace and has a great terrace on the canal. Mauritshuis is a beautiful museum, just like Kunstmuseum Den Haag. Don't forget Westfield Mall of the Netherlands which recently opened! For grocery shopping I recommend going to the large asian stores like Amazing Oriental or Wah Nam Hong, Turkish supermarkets like Maxi Maki for meat, Lidl supermarket (I usually go to the one in Nootdorp since parking is better, there is a Jumbo next to it and some other convenient stores) or Jumbo Food Markt in the Mall. One of the very few downsides of The Hague is that Albert Heijn is everywhere and you almost have no other option if you want to do your groceries close to the city center.

One gem that I found myself visiting regularly ( for free using my Museum Card) was the Beelden an Zee sculpture museum - a haven hidden in a dune just outside Scheveningen... also I saw in your guide book The Lowman Car Museum....also a gem and easily cycleable. Enjoy your stay in Den Haag I look forward to your future videos. I guess from your hints that you live near MCI Ziekenhuis.

    Try
    "De Haegsche Bluf" ; a small luxurious shopping center within the shopping centre of The Hague
    "Florencia IJs" ; a famous icecream parlour in the center of The Hague, since 1932
    "The Omniversum" in Scheveningen ; a 180° viewing angle science movie theatre attached to the Museon (a science museum) in Scheveningen
    a bit further away (Voorburg) ; "the Mall of the Netherlands" ; a huge shopping center featuring many flagship stores. A nice walkable park surrounding it.
    if you truly like alternative beaches : the "Wassenaarse Slag" in Wassenaar (also next to The Hague) might suit you
    for good Mexican food delivery try "Mexathome" via Thuisbezorgd
    if you like smaller recreation parks, try Duinrell (Wassenaar) or Drievliet
    if you like skiing without snow, try "SnowWorld" in Zoetermeer (also very near to The Hague)
    "Gauchos" Argetinian Grill is a good restaurant to get your proteins
    after a night of clubbing you'll want a meal at kebab-restaurant "El Bascha" in the centre of The Hague (go for the chicken mushroom creme if you want something different).

    - Avonturia de Vogelkelder, dierenspeciaalzaak maar ook een leuke winkel om te kijken.
    - Café De la Gare, voor je partner die van bier lijkt te houden ;-) Café waar allerlei soorten bier wordt geserveerd. De barman kan ook een avond vullen met verhalen wat al de verschillende bieren zo anders maakt en hoe ze worden gebrouwen. Zelf geen bierdrinker en zelfs ik vond het interessant haha.
    Veel plezier met het ontdekken van de stad.

    So glad you settled in Den Haag. It's so much nicer than Amsterdam.
    Don't just go to the beach for a day in the sun, try Madestein. Looking at the map now it got a bit smaller than when I was a kid, but it's still nice to hang out and swim.
    Another great nature area is Ockenburgh, next to Madestein, and Meijendel. The parks in Den Haag are real nice too.
    Great pancakes at Oma Toos in Scheveningen, along the harbor. Take a trip in the Watertaxi if it's sailing again.
    btw, when I'm back in my home town I always try to get a turkish pizza/lahmacun at Bereket on the Paul Krugerlaan (near the Loosduinsekade) - they were my 5 foodgroup dish a few times a week...

That's why you can eat the best Indonesian food at some places in Den Haag. In the 70ties and 80ties I had an Aunt and Uncle living there and at many occassions my uncle would get a pan from his kitchen (or 2 pans ;-) ) To have it filled up with Nasi Rames, Rendang, Babi Ketjap and the likes :) Delicious!
