Leiden: A Dutch Gem of Canals, Culture & History!

Just a 25 minutes by train from Amsterdam, you will arrive to this hidden gem. Wander through Leiden, the picturesque birthplace of Rembrandt and home to the Netherlands’ oldest university! Stroll along serene canals, admire historic windmills and explore world-class museums like the Museum De Lakenhal. Don’t miss the stunning Hortus Botanicus, one of Europe’s oldest botanical gardens! Lose yourself in the Pieterskwartier, Leiden’s oldest district with hidden courtyards. Cruise the canals or picnic by the Rapenburg, the city’s most elegant waterway. Hunt for bookshops and quirky boutiques along the Nieuwe Rijn. Why Leiden? Less crowds than Amsterdam, but just as magical! #leiden #netherlands #amsterdam
