The Centre District is the vibrant heart of The Hague. From stately buildings in the Archipelbuurt and the Lange Voorhout, to canals and courtyards in the station district, the The Hague Market in Transvaal, and the lively Schilderswijk: there is always something to experience. The Centre District is continuously developing, and many wonderful initiatives are emerging that we can be proud of.
Wonderful initiatives have been submitted from various neighborhoods in the Centrum district. You will find a selection of them on this page.
The first edition of the Jalan Jalan Festival will take place in the Centrum district from August 21 to 23, 2026. During this three-day city festival, music, dance, food, art, and stories come together to celebrate Indies culture. What began in 2025 with Jalan Pedis as a preview is now growing into a city-wide festival that connects generations and gives cultural heritage a contemporary place in The Hague.
From December 13 to 28, 2025, the Rouwen & Vieren greenhouse stood on Spuiplein in the city center. It was a temporary place that offered space for grief, loss, and remembrance. Not behind closed doors, but right in the middle of the city. Here, people could pause for a moment to reflect on what they had lost, in whatever form.
Ambassador Chris can always be found on The Hague's waters with his Willemsvaart. He is very proud of the canals and the renovated Piet Hein Square. He talks more about it in the video. Are you also so proud of the Centrum district?
