Willemsvaart
The Willemsvaart lets you discover The Hague from the water! The Willemsvaart, named after King Willem I who had a waterway dug from the Prinsessegracht to the coast, has offered various boat tours in the city centre of The Hague and towards Scheveningen beach since 2009. An experienced guide will tell you historical facts and interesting anecdotes about the city during the cruise. Besides the standard tours, De Willemsvaart regularly organises themed tours, often in collaboration with museums, hotels and festivals in The Hague. In short: De Willemsvaart offers an alternative and relaxed mode of transport, where you get to know The Hague from a new side!
