Museum Boerhaave Tours

The classical building by the canal is where merchants once sent their goods to be weighed before market. These days it’s a music venue and gallery.

Once full of cattle and sheep for sale, this pretty square overlooking a canal is now the starting point for canal boat cruises and a great spot for morning coffee.

Step back through history to the medieval times of cut-throat deceptions and power politics when you visit this hilltop castle that overlooks the Rhine.

The Town Hall’s Renaissance façade, saved from fire, is the crowning glory of the old quarter of Leiden.

The past comes alive at Lieden’s National Museum of Antiquities, where you’ll explore cultures of the ancient Egyptians, the Romans, Greeks, Syrians and Persians.

The history of this Gothic medieval church is intertwined with that of the pilgrims who lived and worked in Leiden for many years before migrating to America.
