The location was perfect. Centrally located with easy access to Leiden Centraal as well as shopping and restaurants. The apartment was extremely clean and provided plenty of space for two people. We didn't have a single issue with any of the amenities. This was a very pleasant stay for us. Management was incredibly responsive when we had questions and really put our mind at ease. I would highly recommend this property.

We bicycled and stayed just one night each in five towns. We arrived tired and wet and were very appreciative of the comfortable and large room here. Our room felt more like a small apartment/suite, with a sitting space, large room for the bed, large bathroom, etc. Very comfortable and quiet. There is a bike park right across the road, so it was very convenient.

I can confirm all positive comments of others. We had a lovely stay, the location is fantastic, we loved the spacious room and even while it was getting cold outside, the heating in the room was more than adequate: super comfy. It's the perfect location from where to stroll around the wonderful center of Leiden, and if you're done walking around, there are some fantastic restaurant options just across from Ex-Libris, so easy and enjoyable.

All trips

What's Leiden best known for?

Leiden is the birthplace of Rembrandt and home to the oldest university in the Netherlands. The city features an extensive canal network, centuries-old botanical gardens, and national museums dedicated to antiquities, natural sciences, and art from the Dutch Golden Age.

How many days should I stay?

A stay of two to three days allows enough time to explore Leiden. This schedule lets you visit the central museums, walk along the canals, and tour the botanical garden. Add an extra night to your trip if you plan to visit nearby coastal towns.

What's the best area to stay?

The city centre places you near major museums, the botanical gardens, and a network of canals. The Pieterswijk neighbourhood features cobblestone streets and independent cafes. For travellers planning day trips across the Netherlands, accommodation near Leiden Centraal station offers direct rail links to other cities.

First visit

What are the best things to do in Leiden?

Walk along the central canals to read the poems painted on building façades. Visit the Hortus Botanicus, the oldest botanical garden in the country, and tour Molen de Valk, an 18th-century windmill. You can also view Egyptian antiquities at the Rijksmuseum van Oudheden.

Where should I stay on my first trip?

Choose accommodation in the historic centre near the Rapenburg canal to be within a short walk of the main museums, botanical gardens, and local restaurants. Alternatively, staying near Leiden Central station provides direct rail connections for day trips to other Dutch destinations.

What’s the easiest way to explore in Leiden?

Walking from your accommodation is the most practical way to navigate the streets and canals of the Leiden city centre. Renting a bicycle allows you to reach nearby museums efficiently. For trips further out, the local public bus network provides regular connections across the city.

Family stays

What’s the best thing to do in Leiden with children?

Take children to the Naturalis Biodiversity Center to examine dinosaur skeletons, or walk through a large-scale model of the human body at the Corpus museum. You can also book a boat tour along the city canals to view traditional Dutch windmills from the water.

What’s the best way to get around with a family?

Leiden is compact and flat, making walking the most practical option for families exploring the centre. To travel further, renting bicycles with child seats or a cargo bike is efficient. The city also offers a reliable public bus network with level boarding for strollers.

Where should I stay with children?

The area around Leiden Centraal station offers quick access to the Naturalis Biodiversity Center and regional public transport. The historic city centre is another practical option, featuring flat streets along the canals that accommodate pushchairs and provide direct walking routes to local parks.

The flat, pedestrianised streets make walking highly effective for reaching local museums and dining venues together. For longer distances, public buses operate frequently from the central train station.

Where should I stay for a romantic getaway?

Couples looking for hotels in Leiden frequently choose accommodation in the historic Pieterskwartier district. This area offers immediate access to the botanical gardens and tree-lined canals. Staying near the city centre puts you within walking distance of local cafes, museums, and waterfront dining.

Where's the most convenient place to stay for work?

Reserving a hotel near Leiden Centraal station provides direct rail connections to Schiphol Airport and major commercial hubs like Amsterdam. If your work involves the research or academic sectors, staying near the Bio Science Park or university district ensures a short commute to meetings.

What can I do in Leiden between meetings?

Walk along the central canals or visit the Hortus botanicus between meetings. After your workday concludes, head to the historic city centre. The area provides quiet cafes with reliable Wi-Fi and established restaurants near the Pieterskwartier equipped for hosting professional client dinners.

Leiden...after Amsterdam, the city with more kilometres of canals than any other Dutch city! I spent 4 days, and I think it was enough, since every day of aimless ambling revealed something new and lovely.

Brilliant place. Similar to Amsterdam but in terms of a relaxed feeling it was better. Beautiful canals, great bars and restaurants, really good attractions to see and museums, great proximity to coast (about 5 miles) that had a lovely beach. The place was also very clean.

We were in Leiden for a conference, and it turned out to be a wonderful town that we really enjoyed spending a week in. Leiden is not quite as beautiful as Amsterdam (in my opinion), but it is friendly, walkable, charming, and felt truly livable. Once you get off the main streets, the center is full of quiet alleys, pedestrian bridges across the canals, and restaurants with outdoor seating areas, some of them on barges. I liked Annie's Terras, an outdoor spot on the canal that had a wide ranging menu and good salads. There is a lot of history here, with an ancient fort in the center (the Burcht van Leiden), medieval streets around it, a historic university and churches, including the one that sheltered the pilgrims who eventually made their way to America. I did a canal tour, a walking tour, and spent an afternoon at the botanical gardens. Good coffee shops too--try the Kopje van Leiden (has grilled sandwiches too) and Kofkof (on the canal).
