Madurodam, The Hague & Scheveningen

Madurodam is a miniature city. It is a model of a Dutch town on a 1:25 scale, composed of typical Dutch buildings and landmarks, as are found at various locations in the country. This major Dutch tourist attraction was built in 1952.

The Hague (Den Haag, officially also 's-Gravenhage, "The Count's Hedge") is the third-largest city in the Netherlands after Amsterdam and Rotterdam, with a population of 475,580. It is located in the west of the country, in the province of South Holland, of which it is also the provincial capital. The Hague is the actual seat of government, but, somewhat anomalously, not the official capital of the Netherlands. The Hague is the home of the Eerste Kamer (First Chamber) and the Tweede Kamer (Second Chamber), respectively the upper and lower houses forming the Staten-Generaal (literally the "Estates-General"). Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands lives and works in The Hague. All foreign embassies and government ministries are located in the city, as well as the Hoge Raad der Nederlanden (the Supreme Court), the Raad van State (Council of State) and many lobbying organizations.

Scheveningen is part of The Hague. It is a modern seaside resort with a long sandy beach, an esplanade, a pier, and a lighthouse. The harbor is used both for fishing and tourism.
