Everything you need to know about your flight to The Hague
The summer season is the most popular time to visit this Dutch city by the sea, so tourists should be aware of increased prices for local accommodations. The Tong Tong Fair at the end of May or beginning of June attracts large crowds eager to sample the finest Indonesian cuisine. On the other hand the spring and autumn bring cooler temperatures in addition to cheaper airfares and accommodations. April’s daffodils and May’s tulips add flavour to the quaint streets, making spring a wonderful time to visit the city. On the evening of the 29th of April the city comes alive for KoninginneNach, the country’s largest party in advance of King’s Day. On this night a large number of events, including live music in several different locations, take place across the city.
