š³š± Leiden favorites
how to find your way
Leiden is a small town and therefore most places are within walking distance! The old city center is enclosed by its signature canals with conserved historic buildings lining the water.Ā University buildings are spread through the city center, which is always busy with students!
To navigate the city like a true Dutchie I would recommend renting bikes. To best experience the city I would definitely recommend going on a boat tour to experience the city from the water!
When walking around perhaps you'll spot the poems on the walls of buildings spread throughout the city.
Leiden is also known for its preserved historic gates. These can be found along the borders of the outer city canals and are often accompanied by nice cafes and restaurants.
places to visit
coffee, drinks, food and more!
Leiden is filled with lovely cafes, bars and restaurants, especially along the canals. Here are some of my favorites!
parks along the canals
Leiden has many small but great parks along the canals, perfect for winding down after the day or taking a break from your day through the city.
day trips from Leiden
The Netherlands is a small country. Luckily for tourists this means that most of the bigger cities are close together and well connected by public transport. The central station of Leiden connects Leiden to cities like Den Haag /The Hague, Rotterdam, Amsterdam and more! It is also possible to take many busses from the station, perhaps to go towards the coast for a beach day,
where to stay
what to wear?
The Netherlands is notorious for its rainy weather. However in summer the days can get quite hot. So best to check the weather before your visit!
