Audio Guide of Hall of Knights

The Binnenhof complex, including the Hall of Knights, is currently under renovation until 2028, so the interior is closed. However, you can book guided tours about the renovation or view the exterior through the visitor center of ProDemos, which manages access from Tuesday to Saturday.

Walking around the area and admiring the Gothic architecture is completely free. If you would like to join one of the guided tours available during the renovation, prices usually range from 6 to 12 euros; I recommend checking the latest rates on the official ProDemos website.

If you only plan to walk around the exterior and take photos, about 30 to 45 minutes is enough. If you choose a full guided tour of the government complex, the experience usually lasts around 90 minutes to fully understand its history.

Built in the 13th century, it is the heart of Dutch democracy and the place where the King delivers his annual speech on Prince's Day. It is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture and symbolizes centuries of political history in the Netherlands.

Spring and summer offer the best light to appreciate the architectural details of the brickwork. I recommend going early in the morning or at sunset to avoid the crowds and get better photos without people around.

The inner courtyard has old cobblestones that can make wheelchair access difficult. However, organized tours usually offer assistance if notified in advance; check the specific facilities by contacting ProDemos directly.

You are in a prime location, right next to the famous Mauritshuis museum, home of 'Girl with a Pearl Earring.' You can also walk a few meters to the Prison Gate Museum to complete your historical route.

Since interior access is restricted due to renovation works, focus on the exterior details and the atmosphere of the courtyard. To avoid missing the rich history hidden within its walls, it is highly recommended to complement your walk with a good audio guide that reveals the site's secrets as you explore.
