Easily de- fined as Amsterdam without the headaches, the city is ideal for youth groups wanting an action packed tour in Holland without the distrac- tions of Amsterdam. Walking into Den Haag is like stepping through a Hans Christian Ander- son book. A visit to the town of any kind is a real treat. The ancient capital city of the Netherlands offers so much more to the tourist than the more popular newer capital city up the road. Den Haag is Holland without the headaches. For youth groups, Amsterdam is neither ideal nor popular with parents back home. The Hague howev- er, located just an hour away from ‘The Dam’ is a tranquil, relaxed Colchester RFC U16 after their tour match vs RC The Dukes (2017) and friendly location for a Dutch Rugby Tour. That's not to say there isn't enough going on in the evening to keep older teams entertained as well. With Holland being a small country, you can travel around easily. Rug- by fixtures and tournaments are available both in the Den Haag area, but visits to Amsterdam, Utrecht, Noordwijk and Rotterdam are all within easy access. As soon as you step into the city, you are met with style and class in abundance. The winding cobbled streets are enclosed with grand archi- tecture, and generally lead to a stunning square surrounded with cafes, bars and restaurants spilling out into the open space. Keep an eye open for the Binnenhof, the Grote Kirk, Hofvijer Square and the Government & Law Buildings; they have massive potential as the back- Braintree RUFC U15 before their Rosslyn Park RFC awaiting to drop to your next Facebook profile picture. 2017 tour board the ferry home Later in the Spring, the nearby beach resort of Scheveningen is a TOP FIVE: DEN HAAG lively and action packed town, lined with beach-side restaurants and bars, filled with attractions and amusements, and has been a popular 1.

Ice Skating, Bungee Football or Sumo Wrestling at the Shops and Restaurants are in abundance, areas such as the Grote Markt, amazing De Uithof Activity Centre Buitenhof & the Nieuwe Kirk are full up. In particular, keep an eye 3. End of tour Dinner at Very Italian Pizza or Hudson Bar & open for the restaurants near the Grote Kirk - there are some great Grill options for a cheap lunch, or a more hearty dinner. Once you're look- ing for some food, you can't go wrong in China Town, just a short walk 4.
