Explore the Masterpieces of the Mauritshuis
🎨 A Must-See place Near The Golden Stork Hotel
When staying at Urban Hotel The Golden Stork, you’ll find yourself perfectly positioned to explore some of the Netherlands' most beautiful cultural treasures — and the Mauritshuis in The Hague is an absolute must-visit.
Located just a short tram ride away, the Mauritshuis is housed in a stunning 17th-century palace next to the Dutch Parliament. Inside, you’ll find a world-class collection of Golden Age paintings, including the world-famous "Girl with a Pearl Earring" by Johannes Vermeer, Rembrandt’s dramatic portraits, and stunning landscapes by Ruysdael and Potter.
One of the things that makes the Mauritshuis special is its intimate atmosphere. Unlike larger museums, it’s easy to enjoy these masterpieces without feeling overwhelmed. The rooms themselves are beautifully decorated with chandeliers and detailed ceilings, adding to the feeling that you’ve stepped back into history.
Booking your Mauritshuis entrance ticket in advance means you can skip the line and head straight into this world of Dutch artistry. Audio guides are available, offering fascinating background stories on the artworks and the history of the building.
After your visit, take some time to wander around the surrounding Binnenhof area, grab a coffee at one of the cozy cafés, or stroll through the nearby Hofvijver lake gardens. The central location of The Golden Stork makes it incredibly easy to pair a morning at the museum with an afternoon exploring the city.
