Guided tours
Through the centuries, The Hague’s Binnenhof has always been the heart of Dutch politics – a role that it fulfils to this very day. And the focal point of the square itself is undoubtedly the Ridderzaal. ProDemos organises guided tours through the Ridderzaal and/or the Dutch Senate and/or the House of Representatives (Lower House). These tours are preceded by a video that sheds light on the history of the Binnenhof.
The guided tours start at Hofweg 1, in the reception area of the Visitor Centre next to Café Brasserie Dudok. One can choose from the following programmes:
- Film and visit to the Hall of Knights (ca. 45 minutes, EUR 5,50 per person)
- Film, visit to the Hall of Knights and visit to the House of Representatives (ca. 90 minutes, EUR 9,50 per person)
- Tour to the Hall of Knights and both Parliament Buildings: House of Representatives and the Dutch Senate (ca. 90 minutes, EUR 11,- per person)
All standard guided tours are conducted in Dutch or English.
On the Dutch-spoken tours we provide for our individual foreign guests an audioguide (max. 6 people per tour) for the film and for the visit to the buildings in the following languages:
- English
- French
- German
- Italian
- Spanish
Please select your preferred audioguide when you book your tour online.
Handouts, but not audioguides, are also available in:
- Chinese
- Japanese
- Polish
- Russian
Please ask our staff in the visitor centre for your preferred handouts.
Please note: The Hall of Knights is not accessible for people with a serious mobility impairment, as the hall can only be accessed via stairs.
In de House of Representatives and the Dutch Senate, safety measures apply. Have a look at the website of the House of Representatives.
