Morning coffee and art nouveau on Prins Hendrikstraat
Café Drie
A specialty coffee shop that opened in June 2025 on Goudenregenplein — they pull a tight espresso and the pastries are baked off-site by a local patisserie.
We walk up Prins Hendrikstraat, a street lined with buildings from the early 1900s — curved bay windows, wrought-iron balconies, and ceramic tile panels above the doorways.
The has a bohemian feel — independent bookshops, vintage clothing racks, and sunny squares where locals sit with a coffee. It's a neighborhood that resists the chain-store creep of the centre.
Exhibition at the Photomuseum, then lunch nearby
Ruben Lundgren - Flowers in the Mirror
A new exhibition by running through August — his work plays with Chinese visual culture and Dutch still-life traditions in unexpected ways. Tickets at the door; the museum is never mobbed on a Tuesday morning.
Second exhibition included
Your ticket also covers Farren van Wyk — Mixedness is my Mythology, a smaller show on the ground floor about mixed-race identity through portraiture. It's a 20-minute add-on, worth it if you're already there.
La Patrona
A Mexican cantina that opened in June 2025 on Noordeinde — the al pastor tacos come off a vertical spit, and the margaritas are made with fresh lime, not a mix.
Afternoon gallery and a walk through the Statenkwartier
We walk along Frederik Hendriklaan, the main shopping street of the Statenkwartier — wide pavements, international bookstores, and embassy flags flapping in the sea breeze.
Kunstmuseum The Hague
Explore the architectural masterpiece by , featuring a permanent Mondrian collection and diverse temporary exhibitions. Discover art and design in a unique setting.
Bookkunstmuseum.nlBook a morning slot
The museum gets busier after lunch — we're arriving at the quiet tail-end of the day. Still, book online to skip the queue.
Anna Paulownaplein has transformed in the last year — a wine bar, a grill, and a few terraces have turned it into a low-key evening gathering spot. Locals sit outside when the weather holds.
Drinks and dinner at Anna Paulownaplein
Dr Wines
A wine bar that opened in early July 2025 with over a hundred wines by the glass — the owner pours tastes of anything you're curious about before you commit.
Jacob's Bar & Grill
Opened in July 2025 on the same square — they cook over open fire and charcoal. The roasted cauliflower with tahini is the sleeper hit; the ribeye is the obvious one.
Evening wind-down
After dinner we walk back toward the centre — the light at this hour in June is long and golden, and the streets are quiet with only a few bicycles passing.
