Guided tours
Due to the measures to limit the spread of the coronavirus, ProDemos has closed the Visitor Centre at the Hofweg, The Hague. Starting from mid July we offer a special tour to the Binnenhof and the Hall of Knights conform the RIVM guidelines.
Please ignore the information below, as it is outdated right now.
Throughout the centuries the ‘Binnenhof’ (Inner Court) has been the centre of political life in the Netherlands. Dominating the Binnenhof is the Hall of Knights. From the Hall of Knights it is just a few steps to the Dutch Parliamentary buildings. ProDemos – House for Democracy and the Rule of Law – welcomes you to visit the centre of Dutch politics and to learn more about its history, traditions and current affairs.
You can choose from the following programmes:
- States General Tour (ca. 90 minutes, EUR 11,00 per person)
- Dutch Politics Tour (ca. 90 minutes, EUR 11,00 per person)
- House of Representatives Tour (ca. 90 minutes, EUR 9,50 per person)
- Hall of Knights Visit (ca. 50 minutes, EUR 5,50 per person)
Practical Information
The guided tours start at Hofweg 1, in the reception area of the Visitor Centre next to Café Brasserie Dudok.
All standard guided tours are conducted in Dutch or English.
Tours are available on prodemos.nl/tours. On the Dutch-spoken tours ProDemos can provide an audio guide (max. 6 people per tour) for our individual foreign guests in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish. Handouts are also available in Chinese, Japanese, Polish and Russian.
NB: Due to COVID19, the audioguides cannot be used. One of the reasons is that we had to make some changes to the tour (see Binnenhof Tour) and the information on the audioguide does not match with it anymore.
Please note: All visitors to the House of Representatives are required to register online before their visit. Without registration and a valid form of id you will not be granted access to the House of Representatives
Accessibility
The Hall of Knights is not accessible for people with a serious mobility impairment, as the hall can only be accessed via stairs.
Groups & Arrangements
All tours can be conducted in private for groups up to 30 participants (Hall of Knights up to 50 participants). For more information visit ProDemos Arrangements.
