of a horse and carriage ensemble while i was riding my bike, on my way to the Den Haag Museum of Modern Art, near the Museon. i imagine one of the royal family were in one of the carriages but i couldn't tell because the last 'vehicle' was a motorcycle policeman who wouldn't allow any traffic on the side of the procession. it was fun seeing it turn from a side street onto the street leading to the palace and (slowly) riding behind it. i wonder how old the carriages were. ornately and artfully decorated. definitely an experience.

The Noordeinde Palace located in The Hague city centre is one of the 3 official palaces of the Dutch royal family; the others being the Huis ten Bosch Palace (also in The Hague) and the Royal Palace of Amsterdam. Used as the King's working palace, this is probably the most understated and low-key palace that I've come across, seamlessly blending into the surrounding chic Noordeinde district amidst fashion boutiques and art galleries housed in beautiful art nouveau buildings. In fact, the wings of the palace are even attached to the rows of townhouses on both sides. If it's not because of the huge gate and the equestrian statue of William of Orange facing the palace from across the street, I would probably have missed the palace. I was unable to enter the palace as entry is only allowed during 4 weekends in the summer. Nevertheless, it’s still a convenient stopover to admire its relatively modest exterior enroute to the Peace Palace.

Paleis Noordeinde is nice to look at, especially with the impressive statue of William of Orange in front of it (commissioned by King Willem 2). However it is in use as the work palace of the King and cannot be visited. More interesting perhaps are the Palace Gardens behind it, which are largely open to the public.

It is in the street and not open for public. However you stand there, get to know the history and take pictures. that's what makes it worth visiting. After all knowing history a palace at its gates is really interesting.

It is the King’s place of work. The palace is the property of the State and was placed at the disposal of the head of state by Act of Parliament. The palace complex also includes the Royal Stables, and the palace gardens contain the Royal Archives.
The oldest section of the palace dates from before 1533, when the steward of the States of Holland, Willem van de Goudt, had the medieval farmhouse converted into a spacious residence. It has been a palace of the Royal House since 1609 when the state of Holland purchased and presented it to William of Orange’s widow as a gift in recognition of her husband’s service to the Dutch nation.
In 1813 after the fall of King Louis Bonaparte, Prince Willem returned to the Netherlands, where he was proclaimed Sovereign Prince. The Constitution of the time decreed that the State must provide a summer and a winter home for the sovereign. Noordeinde Palace was the winter home.
On the other side of Paleis Noordeinde you can enjoy some peace and quiet in the Palace Garden. It’s a small park and admission is free. Just next to the park you’ll see the Royal Stables where the horses and coaches of the Royal House are kept.

This is a lovely little royal palace in a beautiful part of the Hague, but, alas, due to its size and the fact that some royal family members actually live and work here, it's not open to the public.
Nevertheless, it's a nice palace to walk by.

At the end of a busy shopping street is a very pretty (modest) palace, which is the working residence of royalty. Very little visible security and the king will waive at you if he is driving through the gate.

Since the palace is not open for visitors, you will only get to take a photo of the exterior. The palace is only open to the public for a couple of weekends in August. Other than that, there is not much to see here. There is the palace gardens which you can visit, with the entrance from the back part of the palace.
