I stayed in an Airbnb in Voorburg the connection to The Hague was amazing and the prices were a little bit cheaper. It's also a good location for trips to Leiden, Gouda or Delft. If you want more of an experience beach go to Scheveningen with the bars, restaurants and stuff to do and if you like it a bit more quiet visit Kijkduin. Otherwise the food is amazing. Take the time of the day and do an afternoon tea. I liked the one at Blossom or at Scallywags. Definitely try an Indonesian Restaurant in Den Haag. For Example Pemprk Elysha in Voorburg, Toko Frederik or D'Javas. But there are so many more good ones. Otherwise we liked Palmir with Uyghur food or Reef Al Yemen. Bøg is great if you want to have something a bit more expensive but also really good. Also El Mercqt for Tapas in an more higher price segment. Somos an Peruian Restaurant makes a great ceviche and Sarban has great Afghan food. If you want Georgian Cousine Go to Scheveningen and visit Iberia. For ice go to Het Ijskabinet the waiting is worth it or to Piet. Breakfast was great at Pommagrante, Blossom, Appeltje Etje or Bartine. Krishna has good Indian cuisine and Xi'an, Full Moon and Fat Klewies are great for Chinese cuisine. Generally I would really recommend Den Haag for the food. If you like art, you should visit the Mauritshuis, if not I would let it be and go to Escher. Make photos of the Peace palace but I think you can skip the museum. Make a stop in the Haagse Bosch for some nature and relaxation. Maybe put in a visit to one of the gems surrounding Den Haag. I felt quite safe in Den Haag. Like everywhere be a little vary of pickpockets and keep an eye on your drinks. If your around for new year's stay in the city and skip neighbourhoods like Schilderswijk and keep more to the quite parts.
Posted: November 3, 2025Safety depends on the neighborhood. I loved food courts, especially the one near De Pier where you can enjoy panoramic views. I recommend visiting Scheveningen area and Peace Palace in the city center. I loved drinking coffee near the canals and in the Koekamp park where you can find animals like deers and squirrels.

Hiii, I went to the Hague in the Netherlands. I went to see a friend who told me the Hague wasn't that safe... I felt okay and didn't have any problems. The beach there is nice, you can surf sometimes:)

I feel super safe in DH, I bike and walk anywhere at any time and it's always a joy. Exceptions would be Laak and the area around the train stations in the evening that can feel a teeny tiny bit sketchy (mostly because you will mostly find men in the street, there can be some catcalling)
Posted: December 7, 2025Throughout my stay, I have neither seen a crime nor felt unsafe, even at night. I don't know what it's like to be out alone at night because I was in a group of four, but I didn't see a shady person. I wouldn't leave my bag alone anywhere, but it's not like other cities where you're afraid your phone will be ripped out of your hand and you'll have to be constantly afraid of theft.

I would say that the Hague is really as safe as any other big, non-capital city in Western Europe. While being catcalled and verbally harrased does happen if you are a woman at night, I have learnt that it overall does not escalate to something more. While this also of course depends on the area of the city, in general I would say that it is pretty safe in the Hague

Hiii! I'm Brazilian and have been living in The Netherlands for 4 years :) I share a flat with my (Swedish) girlfriend and we often travel together. I'm a political economist with interest in sustainability and feminist theory/literature/organizing! I'm not super much the party type but you can always convince me to go to a costume party or karaoke. I am super affectionate and love sharing moments with friends, old or new I do quite a lot of hitchhiking and couchsurfing and that's my usual preferred form of traveling! I live up to the latina standard, which means I am super warm and get a lot of energy from socializing and meeting new people.

Hii, I'm Yasemin. I am originally from Turkey but I have been living in the Hague, the Netherlands for the past 4 years, to pursue a bachelor's degree in international relations :) I speak Turkish, English, Russian, French (though I spoke it quite well in the past, my French has deteriorated so much, so i can only hold basic conversations now :")) and also am currently learning Dutch. I enjoy traveling to different places and meeting different people wherever I go, especially through hitchhiking and couchsurfing :) I like how this way of traveling gives me opportunities to meet and talk to people that I would never get a chance to meet otherwise. I like talking about history, video games, techno, going on meaningles walks around the city with my friends, and just chill hang outs in general. I would say I am pretty low maintenance. Periodically, I pick up random hobbies just to drop them after a few months, so I wouldn't say I have a set thing I love to do lol. I hate capitalism, fascism, ignorance. I guess apathy in general. I am happy to host whoever happens to find themselves in the Hague! Even though I am not Dutch, I am confident in my ability to tour guide so ill give you a tour if im available :)
