A town in
Holland, situated about 15 minutes from
the Hague, towards
Leiden. Wassenaar has a population of approximately 26, 000 (of which approximately 3, 400 have a nationality
other than Dutch), and covers an area of 62.5 km
2. Its biggest claim to fame: it was where the
The Wassenaar Treaty was created.
Other claims to fame:
- It has been described by The Times as 'the Beverly Hills of the Netherlands'
- It is home of the American School of the Hague (ASH)
- The theme park, Duinrell, is located there
- It has a very nice beach
I don't want to be too subjective, but if you are going to visit
the Netherlands, suffice to say that spending time in Wassenaar should not be one of your highest priories.
