Historic architecture, fascinating museums and a variety of restaurants: you’ll fall in love with Leiden, both past and present, straight away.
Leiden is renowned for its rich history, universities and museums, but culture lovers will also find plenty to enjoy here. Virtually every street tells a story that stretches back centuries. Visit the impressive Wereldmuseum or stroll along the Galgewater to Molen De Put. The city centre is bustling with restaurants and the weekly market. Do also take a stroll through the dozens of alleyways and courtyards that the city has to offer. This small city is full of grandeur. It’s no coincidence that we call it ‘the city of discoveries’.
