Leiden: A City Walk Through History
♡ Save
Join us for a walk through the heart of Leiden and discover its rich university history, charming streets, and hidden gems. Explore stunning architecture and stories that shaped one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands!
We will go through the historic university neighborhood, focusing on 16th and 17th-century history. We will walk past one of the greatest churches in Leiden, the Hortus Botanicus, and small, narrow streets, finishing at the Burcht.
Besides the buildings, I will show some nice places to have a drink or dinner after the tour. Other buildings or places can be included upon request.
