Comment from Philippa Burne
The third largest city in the Netherlands, Den Haag or The Hague is not like other Dutch cities. For starters it is much greener and more open, with wider streets and fewer canals. A lot of the city was bombed during the Second World War and has since been redeveloped. In addition to this, the city has expanded hugely in its role as a major center for the UN (along with Geneva and New York).
