Wassenaar

Located between The Hague and Leiden, Wassenaar extends over 62 square kilometers of land, including parks, residential districts, and seven kilometers of coastline.

The settlement gained prominence in 1840 when Prince Frederik commissioned De Paauw palace, which now functions as the town's administrative center.

The Museum Voorlinden, Louwman Museum, and Sculpture Garden Clingenbosch form the cultural foundation of this refined residential area north of The Hague.

Public transport connects Wassenaar to neighboring cities through multiple bus routes, while the N448, A44, and A4 motorways provide direct road access.

The municipality contains Konijnenlaan street, which features the highest property values in the Netherlands and houses numerous diplomatic residences.
