Cruise Port Scheveningen

The Hague - where the city meets the sea


The Hague - where the city meets the sea Seaport Scheveningen is the harbour of The Hague, the international city of Peace and Justice. Like no other city in the Netherlands, The Hague offers a unique combination of city life and beach life. The historic centre oozes culture and history with landmarks such as the Peace Palace (International Court of Justice), Binnenhof (parliament), and Noordeinde Palace (the king’s offices). Boutiques, cafes, concert and dance venues, galleries, flagship stores, museums and restaurants offer something to everyone who loves culture, shopping and nightlife. The Hague is the perfect city for 'shopping in style'. As its name suggests, the Court District is the perfect venue. In the summer, a characteristic book and antiques market is held twice a week on the stately Lange Voorhout. Scheveningen beach is very popular and offers many attractions to visit. The beach also offers the possibility of many (sports) activities. You can play beach volleyball and go kiting or surfing, or stroll on the boulevard from the port to the Pier and the famous Kurhaus. Other activities include the sea aquarium Sea Life and a ride on the Ferris wheel. Beach life and city life go together in The Hague!
