Westbroekpark

Westbroekpark is a 20-hectare public garden in The Hague with generous playing fields, ponds, and waterways that flow gently across the grounds. Loosely scattered tree groupings shape the landscape and create different zones that reveal themselves as you walk through.

The park began in 1948 when Dutch tree and shrub growers created a special exhibition to honor Queen Wilhelmina's 50-year reign. This original celebration grew into an enduring institution for international garden arts.

The International Rosarium serves as a meeting place for rose growers worldwide who present and compare their new varieties here. The 20,000 roses arranged in 300 beds create a colorful focal point that draws gardeners and flower enthusiasts to the park.

The best time to visit is in dry weather when paths are easy to walk and gardens look their best. The park is easily reached from several entrances and offers plenty of space to explore without crowding.

Visitors can rent rowing boats here to explore the park's waterways and discover nature from a special vantage point. A cozy teahouse behind the rose garden invites you to pause and enjoy the view.
