While in the Netherlands
Check out Leiden
There are many opportunities for sightseeing and things to do in Leiden!
In Leiden there is plenty to do and see! The historic city Centre is home to no fewer than 28 kilometers of canals. To cross all these canals, you need bridges, and the city Centre alone has no fewer than 88 bridges! The historic city Centre is surrounded by water. These surrounding moats, known as singels, enclose many green spaces, which is why this area is called Singelpark. Visits can also be made to courtyard gardens, the birthplace of Rembrandt, museums, botanical gardens, windmills and many canal side bars and restaurants. Treasure hunt walks and boat trips on the water can easily be arranged.
Check out Amsterdam
Amsterdam is one of the greatest small cities in the world. From Amsterdam canals to world-famous Amsterdam museums and historical Amsterdam sights, it is one of the most romantic and beautiful cities in Europe. Canal cruises are a popular way to see the city from the perspective of its canals.
Amsterdam is also a city of tolerance and diversity. It has all the advantages of a big city: rich culture, lively Amsterdam nightlife, international restaurants, good transport - but is quiet, and largely thanks to its extensive canals, has a little road traffic. In this city your destination is never far away, but get a bike for an authentic local experience.
