City in Netherlands

Leiden

1 thing to see

Leiden is a canal-laced university city with Rembrandt connections, free wall poems scattered around town, and a lively market on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Wandering the canals and hunting down the painted wall poems costs nothing, and the market is the cheap way to put together a lunch. It sits on the train line between Amsterdam and The Hague, so it makes an easy, quieter, lower-cost base than the big cities.
