The neighbourhood is so idyllic that it is like being on a film set.
A gem of a neighbourhood for those who like to delve into history and architecture. You'll also find plenty of local boutiques here. The Pieterswijk, also called the Pieterskwartier, is cosy, pleasant and authentic. Stroll through centuries-old alleys, shop in artisan shops and visit the Speckhofje, for example. The narrow streets allow you to escape the hustle and bustle of the city without losing the city feel of Leiden.
