The Hague

Located in the west of the Netherlands and the third-largest city in the country, The Hague is more renowned as a nucleus of national and international politics than tourism. However, you'll be surprised by what's available for the visitor.

Founded in 1248 by William II, Count of Holland, the site was quickly adopted by future counts as their administrative centre ('Des Graven Hage' literally meaning 'the count's private enclosure'). The settlement's jurisdiction was widened soon after thanks to a decision by the main cities of the Netherlands to delegate administration to The Hague. Focusing their efforts in that direction, the region was subsequently vulnerable to invasion and fell at the hands of the Spanish during the Eighty Years War and the French two centuries later. Indeed, it was the latter's occupation force that actually named The Hague a city in 1806. Liberation sparked the city's first major expansion, only broken up by the two World Wars which ravaged the landscape.

Since reconstructed, The Hague is now known as the seat of the Dutch government and the monarchy, but don't let the official atmosphere put you off. The Hague remains one of the best spots in the Netherlands for a city break.

The Hague is very much a modern city and the architecture reflects this fact. All pre-20th century edifices are connected to the Dutch government, particularly those of the Binnenhof (inner court) like the het Torentje (small tower), used by the Prime Minister as an office. One exception to this is the outstanding medieval Knight's Hall.

Outside of the inner court, the Lange Voorhut is a remarkable tree-lined square containing fine 18th century townhouses and the marvellous baroque Huis Huguetan Building, home to the Dutch Supreme Court.

Outside of the inner court, the Lange Voorhut is a remarkable tree-lined square containing fine 18th century townhouses and the marvellous baroque Huis Huguetan Building, home to the Dutch Supreme Court.

The most prestigious modern building is unquestionably The Peace Palace. Given to the city by Andrew Carnegie, it's main claim to fame is housing the International Court of Justice but the building is attractive in its own right, designed by the French architect Cordonnier after an international competition.

One other quasi-architectural point of interest is the Madurodam miniature city. Built in 1952 by George Maduro, the Madurodam depicts a Dutch town with typical landmarks and, charmingly, counts Queen Beatrix as its mayor.

The Hague has a huge array of museums and galleries by any standard, including some of the finest in the country. Located in a former count's residence, the Mauritshuis contains a huge collection of Dutch art, encompassing works by Johannes Vermeer and Rembrandt. Elsewhere, the Gemeentemuseum den Haag specialises in 20th century art, with pieces by Van Gogh, Monet and Kandinsky as well as a large permanent collection of Mondrian. If you're looking for a more specific insight into the history of The Hague though, search out the Haags Historich Museum as well as the Museum de Gevangenpoort, set in the former 15th century prison. Also remarkable are the Museum Beelden aan Zee (displaying 20th century sculpture) and the Museon science museum, but there are many more across the city.

For a stroll, look out for the Park Clingendael and its fabulous Japanese garden, or the gardens of the Paleis Noordeinde, workplace of Queen Beatrix.

If relaxation is what you want instead, the tourist-friendly Scheveningen beach resort in the northwest or the more local Kijkduin resort in the southwest are the places to visit.

A number of festivals and events are hosted in The Hague, the most important of which being the Koninginnedag (Queen's Day) on the 30th April, with a funfair and street markets galore, and the Parkpop free open-air concert in June, with former artists performing including Kelis.

Football and rugby dominate sport in The Hague. The local football team, ADO Den Haag, play their games in the Eredivisie at the Zuiderpark Stadion, while the local rugby team, Haagsche Rugby Club are the most successful club in the country. There is also an American Football team, the Den Hague Raiders 99.

The Hague is a major shopping central in the Netherlands. This is largely due to the number of shopping malls like The Passage (containing luxurious stores and with a history dating back to the 19th century), Leidsenhage and the Palace Promenade.

There are also a number of shopping areas such as Haagsche Bluf, Segbroek and Frederik Hendriklaan, all filled with outlets.

For high-street fashion in particular, check out Hoogstraat, Molenstraat and De Plaats.

The City Mondial is packed with restaurants offering a wide range of different cuisines. Reflecting The Hague's historic links to the Dutch East India Company, Indonesian food figures prominently. Restaurants like Djawa in Mallemolen and Tampat Senang in Laan van Meerdervoort are some of the best in the city. However, you can find alternatives like Japanese at Shirasagi on Spui 170.

Lacking a university, The Hague is not reputed for its nightlife but the main areas for bars are the Het Plein (The Square), the Grote Markt and the Buitenhof (Outer Court) as well as the Scheveningen resort. You can also find clubs like Asta in Spui 27 and Danzig in Lange Houtstaat. James akenhead poker tournament.

The Scheveningen resort also houses the Holland Casino Scheveningen.

Asta Casino The Hague New York

During the Holland Festival (and Filmweek The Hague 1957) the Philips Company will give a demonstration of their new 70mm projector. The announcement said: Kurhaus Cabaret Scheveningen from 14 till 23 June: 'HET WONDER VAN TODD-AO' ('The Miracle of Todd-AO'). A film demonstration of revolutionary significance. Curved screen along the whole width of the auditorium. Film width 70mm. Stereophonic sound. Equipment especially placed by Philips.

I was triggered by the announcement, being a fan of CinemaScope films like 'Trapeze' (1956), with Burt Lancaster, Tony Curtis and Gina Lollobrigida making her debut in American films, 'Rose Marie' (1954), the first CinemaScope film from MGM, 'Et Dieu crea la Femme', (1957), with Brigitte Bardot dancing the famous Mambo dance, 'How To Marry A Millionaire', with Marilyn Monroe, Betty Grable and Lauren Bacall and 'Island in the Sun' (1957), with Harry Belafonte singing my famous title song This is my Island in the Sun, where my people have toiled since time begun. So I decided of course to visit the 70mm demonstration and it was really overwhelming what I saw there: a 70mm film on a large slightly curved screen from wall to wall and from floor to ceiling in this special equipped theatre for this ten days event. They screened one reel of 'Oklahoma!' and the 70mm demo 'The Miracle of Todd-AO'. I had never seen anything like it, such a sharp image and also on such a large screen!
Later that same year in August I saw the complete version of the musical 'Oklahoma!' in the 35mm CinemaScope version. And in December 1957 in Amsterdam the 35mm print of Mike Todd's 'Around the World in 80 Days'. He had rented the Amsterdam Nöggerath Cinema for one year to screen his film exclusively only there. He had it equipped with a large slightly curved screen so it looked like 70mm projection. The film there was such a success that it ran some more months after one year. But the next year was the year of the famous Expo World Fair 1958 in Brussels. I visited it for one week and saw:
• 'The American Horizon' in Circarama 11x 16mm projection. Another amazing experience.
• 'Vaste est mon Pays', the Russian version of Cinerama: Kinopanorama 3 x 35mm in the Russian pavilion!
• 'This is Cinerama' and 'Seven Wonders of the World' in a special built cinema for the Expo with 3 x 35mm projection on a great curved screen.
I was really surprised to see all these beautiful movies in one week. However I did not realise what an influence it should have in my later life. But the surprises went on, in September of the same year I visited the famous Photokina exhibition in Cologne in Germany and saw Cinetarium, a 35mm projection on the bottom of a silver ball, that resulted in a 360 degrees projection around you. It was surprising but has not been released further. Then in 1960 in July was the opening of the Scala Cinerama in Rotterdam and I hurried to see 'This is Cinerama', which I had seen already in Brussels. That same year in August another cinema in The Netherlands (Parade in Den Bosch) had been equipped with the Philips DP70 and they screened 'The Miracle of Todd-AO' in 70mm and 'The Miracle of Stereophonic Sound' a very nice 35mm CinemaScope short. And the year went on: in October I saw 'Can-Can' in Asta The Hague, also just equipped with the Philips DP70 projectors. And in December in Metropole The Hague: 'Ben-Hur', In Luxor Nijmegen: 'The Miracle of Todd-AO' and in December I visited Paris and saw in the Ambassade 'The Alamo' in 70mm! What a year, but of course I thought it was normal to see so many 70mm presentations.
1961 was another great 70mm year in The Netherlands: in Vreeburg Utrecht: 'Can-Can' for the second time. Probability poker hand full house. In Cinerama Rotterdam: 'Seven Wonders of the World', which has now become my favourite Cinerama movie! In April I visited DuMidi Amsterdam for 'Spartacus' in 70mm. Then Corso Rotterdam, a beautiful cinema, especially rebuilt for 70mm: 'Porgy and Bess'. Back to Luxor Nijmegen to watch 'South Pacific' in Todd-AO and in August I visited the Casino Cinerama in London for 'Search for Paradise' and Astoria, London for 'Exodus' in 70mm. Then back to The Netherlands for 'Cinerama Holiday' in the Cinerama Rotterdam and finally the Russian 70mm movie 'Story of the Flaming Years' in the Parade 70mm Cinema in Den Bosch.
Next year 1962 I visited 'El Cid' in 70mm in Flora Amsterdam and travelled in June again to London to see 'Seven Wonders of the World' again and again in the Casino Cinerama and 'South Pacific' in the famous Dominion theatre where it has been screened for 5 years. I should like to know how many 70mm prints they have used in those 5 years? Then back to The Netherlands for 'West Side Story' in 70mm in Grand Rotterdam on one of the last days of December .
In 1963 I visited again Cinerama Rotterdam for 'South Seas Adventure' and another day 'Porgy and Bess' for the second time in the beautiful Corso 70mm Cinema also in Rotterdam. In September of that same year 'The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm' in the Empire Cinerama in Paris and back at home '55 Days at Peking' in the 70mm cinema Luxor Nijmegen. In 1964 again to London (!) where I visited the unique Circlorama 360 degrees cinema on Piccadilly Circus. It was the Russian version of Disney's Circarama with a twenty minute travel film: 'Russian Roundabout'. And in the Coliseum London: 'It's a Mad, Mad, Mad World'. Back to my home country to the Parade Cinema with the DP70 for a Todd-AO screening of 'Cleopatra'!
Next year only two 70mm movies in The Netherlands: 'Circus World' in Super Technirama 70) in Luxor Nijmegen and 'Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines' (Todd-AO) in Odeon in The Hague. In 1966: 'The Greatest Story Ever Told' in Ultra Panavison 70 on the curved screen of Cinerama Rotterdam and 'Khartoum' on the 70mm screen of Bellevue Cinerama Amsterdam. They had only 70mm equipment so no original Cinerama possibilities. 1967: 'The Sound of Music' in Luxor 70mm Nijmegen and a 70mm blow-up of 'Doctor Zhivago' in Bellevue Amsterdam. 1968: 'Doctor Dolittle' in Todd-AO in Flora Amsterdam. 'Around the World in 80 Days' in 70mm in Grand Rotterdam and 'Custer of the West' (Super Technirama 70) in Bellevue 70mm Amsterdam. 1969: 'The Great Race', a 70mm blow-up in Euro Cinema The Hague and 'The King and I' in Grandeur 70 in Luxor Nijmegen (Originally the second movie in CinemaScope 55).
1970 started with seeing 'Ben-Hur' (filmed with MGM Camera 65) in Du Midi Amsterdam on a normal 70mm screen and I went again to Paris for 'Goodbye Mr Chips', a 70mm blow-up in the Empire Cinerama and another blow-up of 'Marooned', on the large screen of Cinerama Rotterdam. But at last that year a real 70mm film 'Patton' (Dimension 150) in my home town Arnhem in the beautiful Rembrandt cinema with Cinemeccania 70mm Victoria projectors. It all ended for the time being in 1973 with a visit to London Casino Cinerama for 'Song of Norway' (Super Panavision 70), back to Rotterdam's real Cinerama theatre for the third time 'Seven Wonders of the World'. And for 'The Last Valley' in Todd-AO to Luxor Cinema, Nijmegen, for another screening of 'Can-Can' in Todd-AO in Euro The Hague and finally to Corso Rotterdam for 'Fall of the Roman Empire' (filmed with anamorphic Ultra Panavision 70 equipment). Two Cinerama movies and three 70mm movies in one year, Wow! All these seventy millimetre cinemas in The Netherlands have been closed or destroyed!
