As the UK’s leading specialists for accessible holidays abroad, Enable Holidays is delighted to announce an exciting new partnership with the Netherlands Board of Tourism and Conventions. This means we are now expanding our range of Dutch breaks and longer-stay holidays to bring you some spectacular new locations that have been kept a secret for far too long.

There’s a lot more to the Netherlands than just Amsterdam. And here’s the first of four new destinations we’ll be featuring in our Blog Section over the next few months.

The Hague - The Green City by the Sea

The Hague, with its rich history, stunning architecture, and colourful culture, is a remarkable destination for wheelchair users and those with limited mobility. As you approach this charming city, a sense of excitement builds, knowing that adventure awaits—adventure that’s inclusive and accommodating.

Upon arrival, you’re greeted by the city’s well-planned infrastructure. The Hague’s public transport system is accessible, with many buses and trams equipped to assist passengers in wheelchairs.

You settle into a centrally located hotel that boasts accessible facilities. From here, you’re just a short distance from some of the city’s most iconic attractions. The first stop is the Mauritshuis, home to an impressive collection of Dutch Golden Age paintings, including Vermeer’s “Girl with a Pearl Earring.” The museum is fully accessible, featuring ramps and elevators that allow you to navigate its elegant galleries comfortably. As you admire the exquisite art, you can’t help but appreciate the thoughtful design that makes this cultural gem welcoming to everyone.

Next, a leisurely stroll through the historic centre leads you to the Binnenhof, the political heart of The Hague. The courtyard is easily navigable, and the surrounding architecture—a blend of medieval and modern—is awe-inspiring. Guided tours are available, and many are designed with accessibility in mind, providing a deeper understanding of the building's significance without any barriers.

Perfect for a daytrip from The Hague, is Delft. A charming city that beautifully blends history, art, and vibrant canals. Famous for its Delft Blue pottery, this picturesque town invites visitors to step into the Netherlands’ rich past while enjoying a lively modern culture. You’ll find yourself surrounded by elegant, gabled buildings, historic churches (The so-called Old and New Church), and tranquil canals lined with cozy cafés and boutique shops.

No visit to The Hague would be complete without experiencing its stunning seaside. A trip to Scheveningen Beach offers a refreshing change of scenery. The promenade is wide and paved, perfect for an easy roll along the coast. You find accessible beach cabanas where you can relax, and some beach bars even provide special mats that allow wheelchair users to enjoy the sand. The gentle sound of waves and the salty breeze create an atmosphere of relaxation and joy.

As evening falls, the city comes alive with vibrant energy. This is the perfect time to explore the culinary scene - from charming bistros to fine dining, the options are plentiful. A favourite among visitors is a waterfront restaurant that boasts panoramic views of the harbour, serving delicious seafood and local specialties.

For those interested in history, the Peace Palace is a must-visit. Home to the International Court of Justice, this stunning building is fully accessible, with guided tours that offer fascinating insights into its role in global diplomacy. The beautifully landscaped gardens surrounding the palace are also easy to navigate, providing a serene space to reflect on the city’s commitment to peace and justice.

Finally, don’t miss the opportunity to explore the lively markets that pop up around the city. The Haagse Markt is one of the largest outdoor markets in Europe, with a wide array of stalls offering everything from fresh produce to unique crafts. The market is mostly flat and features wide pathways, making it accessible for all. The vibrant atmosphere, combined with the tantalizing aromas of street food, creates an unforgettable sensory experience.

As your holiday in The Hague comes to an end, you feel a sense of fulfilment. The city has not only embraced its rich heritage and modernity but has also made inclusivity a priority. Each attraction you visited and every meal you enjoyed reinforced the notion that travel can—and should—be accessible to everyone. You leave with lasting memories, a heart full of gratitude, and the hope of returning to this beautiful city that welcomes all.
