The Hague with your class
Groups explore the Peace Palace (guided tour or visitor centre), visit the Binnenhof — the working parliament of the Netherlands — and discover Madurodam, the extraordinary 1:25 scale model of the country. Scheveningen beach, just a tram ride from the city centre, adds a relaxed afternoon by the North Sea. The combination of serious civic content and accessible variety suits secondary classes studying European institutions, international relations or 20th-century history.
On the Move manages transport, accommodation, booked visits and the full programme. ABELIO and L’Office standards apply.
Trip highlights
Beach games, track and field events, and an "ultimate all-rounder" competition on the North Sea shore — a full morning of structured outdoor challenge
A full day of tree-climbing circuits, an expedition-style activity, and a group BBQ buffet dinner in the forest — physical challenge and teamwork combined
A guided walk through the historic city centre, visiting the grand civic squares and learning about The Hague's role as an international centre of law and diplomacy
