5km (3 miles) NW of The Hague center
A chic beach resort with a notoriously hard-to-pronounce name, Scheveningen is virtually a part of The Hague. It sports a cast of upscale restaurants with international cuisine, accommodations in all price ranges, international-name boutiques, and abundant nighttime entertainment. Visitors often stay at Scheveningen, and make the 10-minute drive or tram ride into The Hague.
Until early in the 19th century, this was a sleepy fishing village. But as its beaches began to attract vacation crowds, Scheveningen evolved into an internationally known resort. The magnificent and beautifully restored 19th-century waterfront Kurhaus Hotel still draws Europe's crowned heads and celebrities from around the globe. Gamblers flock to the resort's casino, where tuxedoed croupiers ply their craft nightly.
