Koninklijke Schouwburg

The Haags Historisch Museum is a museum situated on the Korte Vijverberg in The Hague, Netherlands, dedicated to the history of the city. It is based in the one-time guild house of Saint Sebastian. In the seventeenth century, this guild house was the home of the civilian militia of Saint Sebastian, whose members are depicted in some of the museum collections. In 2024, the council of The Hague agreed an investment of around €17 million for the renovation of the building housing the museum. The museum is planned to be closed from autumn 2024 to spring 2027 while the refurbishment takes place. The refurbished building is being designed by DP6 architects, who will create a new reception foyer, larger gallery spaces and better visitor routing.

The Battle for The Hague (Dutch: Slag om Den Haag) was a battle fought on 10 May 1940 during the Battle of the Netherlands. German Fallschirmjäger units were dropped in and around The Hague to capture Dutch airfields and the city itself. After securing a bridgehead, Nazi Germany had expected the Netherlands to surrender that day. The Germans, however, failed to achieve that objective since their forces had been unable to hold onto their initial gains. That is because the Dutch regrouped and then launched effective counter-attacks. Isolated pockets of German troops, led by Hans von Sponeck, retreated to the nearby dunes, where they were continually pursued and harassed for five days, when Henri Winkelman, the Dutch commander-in-chief, was forced to surrender by major setbacks on other fronts.

The Hague Tram (Dutch: Haagse tram) is a tram network forming part of the public transport system in and around the city of The Hague in South Holland, the Netherlands. Opened in 1864, as of 2018 the network has twelve tram lines, three of which were built to light rail standards and currently operate under the RandstadRail brand. It consists of 117 kilometres of rails and 241 stops, and has been operated by HTM Personenvervoer since 2002, being the successor of N.V. Gemengd Bedrijf Haagsche Tramweg-Maatschappij (01-01-1927 - 11-06-2002) and N.V. Haagsche Tramweg-Maatschappij (HTM) (01-05-1887 - 01-01-1927).

The Hague semi-metro is a light rail system in the form of a semi-metro in The Hague, the Netherlands. It is used by Lines 2, 3, 4, 6 and 34 of the local tram network. Three linked sections were constructed for the core of this network: the viaduct with the tram stations Centraal Station (CS) and Ternoot, the tram tunnel and the viaduct through the Beatrixkwartier office area. The semi-metro started in 1976 with the viaduct over CS and Ternoot. On semi-metro routes, tram vehicles run in tunnels and/or on viaducts in the city centre and otherwise largely on free tracks. It consists of five stations, and is operated by HTM Personenvervoer. As long as the conversion of the tram network to metro standards has not been completed, it is called semi-metro. The Hague Semi-metro is mainly inspired by the Brussels Premetro, as well as other systems. During the planning and partially construction the Brussels system was referred to as "semi-metro". The German concept Stadtbahn (in Cologne for example) is comparable to the situation in The Hague: with tunnels and viaducts. Friedrich Lehner (who also set up the Hanover Stadtbahn) introcuced the concept in The Hague in 1964. Plans were formalised in 1969 in the plan called Nota Openbaar Vervoer 1969.
