The Scheveningen Pier is a landmark attraction located in the coastal town of Scheveningen, which is part of The Hague in the Netherlands. The pier extends over the North Sea and offers visitors a unique panoramic view of the coastline.
Originally constructed in 1901, the pier has undergone several renovations and modifications throughout the years. In the 1960s, it was expanded to include an amusement park, a theater, and a restaurant. However, due to maintenance and safety concerns, the amusement park and theater were closed in the early 2000s.
The pier is now primarily used as a tourist attraction, offering visitors a range of activities and experiences. The top of the pier features a panoramic deck, where visitors can enjoy stunning views of the North Sea and the surrounding beaches. There are also several restaurants and cafes on the pier, serving a variety of food and drinks.
One of the most popular attractions on the pier is the Bungy Jump, which is the highest commercial bungee jump in Europe. Other attractions include a zip line, a Ferris wheel, and an indoor playground for children. The pier is also a popular venue for concerts, festivals, and other cultural events throughout the year.
