Binnenhof is the courtyard which is surrounded by the parliament buildings. The courtyard was used as a castle in the past but now it hosts the two chambers of the Dutch parliament and the Prime Minister's office. In the courtyard, you can buy the Hollandse Nieuwe Herring fish which is raw herring with onions and taste this famous Dutch snack! You can also enjoy lots of other restaurants in the square called Plein right next to the Binnenhof.
