A Long Pentecost Weekend in The Hague

Okay, we might be a little biased, but The Hague truly has everything you need for a fun and fulfilling city trip. Whether you’re in the mood for shopping and good food, soaking up some culture, or taking a walk along the beach – our ‘city behind the dunes’ is full of great spots and surprising activities.

Why don’t you stay?

Planning to spend a night in The Hague during the Pentecost weekend? Great idea! Staying over for a night or two makes your weekend extra special and stress-free. No rush – just long, relaxed dinners, evening strolls on the beach, or one last drink on a cosy terrace in the city. We’re happy to share two top tips for a lovely stay in The Hague.

La Paulowna Boutique Hotel

A wonderful hotel in a prime location: La Paulowna Boutique Hotel. This small-scale boutique hotel offers beautifully designed rooms and is an absolute must for anyone planning a night (or weekend) in The Hague. With the lively Piet Heinstraat and Prins Hendrikstraat just around the corner, you’ll be perfectly situated to explore the city’s best hotspots and enjoy a laid-back weekend away.

Bonus tip: all followers of Haagse Schatten get 10% off their stay at this beautiful hotel with the code ‘HAAGSNACHTJE’!

Will & Tate City Stay

A lively and trendy hostel-meets-hotel right in the heart of the city. Thanks to the welcoming vibe, you’ll feel right at home in our beautiful The Hague. This great spot to explore the city from consists of two buildings: the slightly more upscale ‘Will’ with apartments and private rooms with en-suite bathrooms, and the buzzing ‘Tate’ with dorms as well as twin and even triple rooms. In other words: comfortable stay options for every type of traveller and every budget!

Want to use your Haagse Schatten gift card at Will & Tate? Just drop by or send them an email! Please note: the card can only be redeemed physically at the reception when making your booking – not afterwards.

For Early Birds and Late Lunchers

Are you the kind of person who loves to head out early? Start your morning at one of The Hague’s many cosy coffee spots or breakfast cafés. Freshly baked croissants, a strong cup of coffee, a fresh juice or even a celebratory mimosa – it’s all on the menu. We previously wrote a blog about our favourite places in The Hague for an early (or late) breakfast. Whether you’re in the city centre, Scheveningen or one of the charming neighbourhoods – there’s always a great breakfast spot nearby.

Prefer to sleep in or have your first meal a bit later in the day? No problem! There’s also plenty of choice for a delicious and relaxed lunch. Check out our guide to some of the best lunch spots in The Hague – definitely worth a taste!

Beach bound

One of the most unique (and always good) ideas for a day in The Hague: the beach. Our city has a beautiful backyard with no less than 11 kilometres of coastline. Take a walk through the Westduinpark dunes and then settle in at one of the idyllic beach cafés at Zuiderstrand – or soak up the liveliness of the Scheveningen boulevard. There’s a perfect beach hangout for every type of group, vibe, and weather. All that’s left to do is choose…
