Opening of the royal waiting room
Hidden at Hollands Spoor station
Did you know that a beautiful royal waiting room is hidden at Hollands Spoor station? During its grand opening on 5 October 1893, Princess Wilhelmina and Queen Regent Emma called the royal waiting room in The Hague a "jewel to the residence".
The waiting room offers a unique glimpse into the Dutch Royal Family travel history. This hidden royal jewel was invisible to the public for a long time, but after a major restoration, it is again accessible to visitors.
- From the 8th of September to the 27th of October, a limited number of exclusive tours will be given.
- The tours last 30 minutes and can be booked between 09.00 - 13.00 and 13.30 - 17:00.
- The tour is in Dutch.
