It's a nice place just to walk around with lots of bridges and attractive canals. There is also a good selection of shops and eating places – and everything is pretty much within walking distance.
Leiden is not too big and not too small. Accommodations are plentiful and inexpensive. Great restaurants and boat tours. Close to aiport (AMS), Den Haag, Keukenhof, etc... I love Leiden!! There is a nice square by the water and you can have traditional Dutch pancakes. As typical in the Netherlands, there are a lot of dining options on the water.
Great place to visit, but confusing to drive through. Really need a gps and even that can be confusing until you have been there awhile. Many nice museums I didn't have time to see. The boat trip through the canals was nice and informative. Be aware that sidewalks are also bicycle paths and you can't stand around on the bike part of the sidewalk.
If you are a "not so metropolitan" kind of person, who loves winding little streets, canals view , quiet neighborhood with lovely museums around - then Leiden would be a perfect destination.
Leiden is a beautiful old city in the Netherlands, just 30 minutes south by train from the hustle and bustle of Amsterdam. Leiden is surrounded completely by a canal (the Singel) which makes for a beautiful bike ride or extended walk. Bikes can be rented from the train station for a reasonable price. The city itself is a perfect size for walking and has everything one might need for a few days vacation to a long-term stay. There are several beautiful windmills to see in town, and a great Saturday market selling all manner of Dutch foods and flowers. Grab yourself a fresh stroopwafel and go wandering along the cobbled back streets past the old churches and by the Singel. By day or night, rain or shine, Leiden is worth a visit, even if just for a day! Be sure to check out the Boerhaave Museum if it's a rainy day. Science enthusiasts will enjoy seeing original sketches of Saturn's rings from Cassini and telescope lenses crafted by Huygens, as well as an excellent exhibit on medical instruments throughout the ages. If you're looking for something tasty for lunch or dinner, try Oudt Leyden for delicious Dutch-style pancakes as big as your head!
It's close to multiple things to see Keukenhof, Clara Maria dairy farm, and the beach. It's close enough to amsterdam to see the city but not deal with the traffic and city noise at night with small children. City is clean and felt safe.
“Home from home in the centre of Leiden. Beautifully appointed with fresh products delivered for breakfast each morning. Will definitely return.”
“Terrific location - modern business hotel - nice facilities and professional staff. The room was very quiet - could not hear the trains. That said, we haven't found much better in Leiden from a location and will probably be back.”
“So charming and full of character! The room was lovely, and the location was perfect! The hotel is well priced, close to the train station, and made day trips a breeze. The staff was helpful and personable, a family business that made us feel at home. Will definitely book again.”
“This is a lovely vintage Dutch hotel. We walked easily from the train station. It is in a central location.”
“Wonderful ground floor apartment in the central area of Leiden. Easy walking distance to Central Station and many shops and restaurants. The apartment itself is lovely and spacious with a full kitchen and very large bathroom. It is nice and quiet at night.”
