Activity itinerary

Het Plein

We will briefly walk onto the square within the parliament complex and see the Knight's Hall. Here I will tell you about the significance and history of this place. With some luck, we might see some of our ministers (or prime minister) walking by!

Hofvijver

  • 10m
The Hofvijver lake is situated in front of the parliament building and the prime minister's office (the little tower!). You will learn about the significance of this place and some funny history.

We will see the working palace of the Dutch king. Based on the flag, we can find out if he is currently in the country. Let's see!
