Hágai

Hágai is the name used in several languages for The Hague, a major city in the western Netherlands. It is located in the province of South Holland on the North Sea coast, near the Scheveningen seaside district. The city is the seat of the Dutch government and parliament, and the Binnenhof complex houses the States General and many ministries.

Hágai is also known as an international city of law and diplomacy. The International Court of Justice, the Permanent Court of Arbitration, and the International Criminal Court are based there, alongside numerous foreign ministries and EU-related agencies. Europol also has a presence in the city.

Cultural and historic attractions include the Mauritshuis, which houses Vermeer’s The Girl with a Pearl Earring, and the Escher in Het Paleis. The Scheveningen district features a long beach, a pier, and a marina. The Peace Palace, the heart of international dispute resolution, stands in the city alongside parks and government buildings.

Hágai has a diverse population and a service-oriented economy focused on law, governance, and international affairs. It is well connected by rail, with The Hague Centraal and Den Haag HS stations, and by tram networks. Rotterdam The Hague Airport lies nearby for international travel.
