The Hague: City Canal Cruise

1.City Canal Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 2,024 reviews · from $17Our pick

Board at Bierkade 19 for a 90-minute cruise through The Hague’s canals. Your guide, perhaps Anna, Marian, Erik, Bret, or Dicky, explains the city’s buildings, social history, and daily life while the skipper handles tight bends and remarkably low bridges. Tours run in Dutch, English, or German at separate times.

“This beautiful canal tour gave an excellent overview of this history of Den Haag plus architectural highlights plus even nature facts. In addition it went into the social issues going on in The Haag today. Sit at the end of the boat if you can. That way you won't be straining your neck as much to look at either side. This canal tour was well worth the money and I highly recommend it. Beautiful photo opportunity and learning opportunity.”

10.Discover The Hague with a self-guided Outside Escape city tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 35 reviews · 1 to 2 hours (approx.)

Explore central The Hague with a self-guided Outside Escape game for up to six people. Follow smartphone clues from Hofvijver to Grote Kerk, solving riddles near Noordeinde Palace, the Senate, Lange Voorhout, and other landmarks. Allow one to two hours, bring a charged phone, and expect a playful city walk rather than a traditional guided tour.

“Unfortunately we had to quit the experience after about ten minutes, so I can’t say much about it. The first 4 or 5 questions were really interesting and entertaining, so we expect the rest to be as much fun! Hopefully we can finish it some other time, but I’m afraid our code and answers will be expired by then.”
