The Hague (Den Haag) is the political capital, the seat of government of the Netherlands. The city enjoys an international albeit very European and stately allure compared to super touristy Amsterdam. That said I cannot really say if I like Den Haag more than Amsterdam though.
Dutchman and I were here last August enroute to seaside Scheveningen where we spent a lazy afternoon and evening. In Den Haag we visited the Dutch Houses of Parliament aka the Binnenhof and managed as well to walk around the Hofvijver (the lake in front of the parliament) and enjoy the beautiful views.
Since this visit I have been to Den Haag 2 more times. I hope to see more of the city in the coming months.

I will stop blabbering for now and let the pictures do the rest of the talking.
This is the Turfmarkt.
The modern twin towers on Turkmarkt are home to 2 ministry offices: the Ministry of Security and Justice and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Pink tram passing through a building.
Loving it that the old trams are still running in Den Haag.
Great way to discover the city through these step bikes.
Street art sculpture in the city.
The Dutch Houses of Parliaments.
The vintage trams have become an important part, a landmark that will hopefully stay the city.
The Plein - the living room of The Hague and the statue of William of Orange in the middle of the square.
If you come to The Hague you must visit this square and take a picture of the city skyline.
