The Hague is not at all similar to other cities of the Netherlands, in which I was lucky to visit. For example, Amsterdam and Rotterdam have turned into modern megalopolises in recent decades, where only the center has architectural buildings of past centuries. The Gaaga has kept the historical uniqueness and title of the Royal City. To this day, the government meets in it and the Queen's residence is located.
This is a city park. Circle clean smooth sidewalks and squares, neatly trimmed bushes, then rectangular, then round. I did not find any leaf, which would accidentally be angry from the planned composition. The streets in the Hague are much wider than in Amsterdam, the area is designed by medieval architects with a scope. After all, the royal carriers were supposed to pass on these places.
In the center of the city there is a palace complex Binnenhof, previously surrounded by canals, from which only a pond remained.
A little away is the Palace of Queen - Nordende. It is closed for tourists, but in his park is allowed to walk.
After inspecting the main attractions of the Hague when palaces and buildings were captured in the camera, and in the memory of their name, I went to the park miniature Madyudam. All I have seen before, now watched 1:25. Houses, squares, river with bridges, monorail roads, airport and the most interesting is a real railway in miniature. It stretches for 4 km and the train moves along it. There are small cars and people near buildings, and on the square in front of the royal palace there is no modern scene, with carants, figures of lakes and rich nobles.
Residents of Hague - open and peace-loving people. And not only because their city is the center of diplomacy, the residence of many international organizations and peacekeeping missions. Even in the Middle Ages, the city was not surrounded by a serf wall. There is a legend that money, after all, the residents of the Gaagi have been spent on the construction of the town hall. It is still not clear why the name of the city from the Dutch language is translated as "Count Fence".
