Overview
My name is Job and as a Leiden native I invite you to my wonderful hometown. Being a proud resident I want to share our historic center, hidden gems and tell stories only a local knows. Born in 1970 I know what is going on now and in the past. I invite you to experience Leiden and make you love my city as much as I do.
My Leiden Free Walking Tour isn’t just about our unrivalled old city center, picturesque canals, and famous landmarks, it’s about feeling the real Leiden, from its rich history present-day student and culinary scene to its best-kept secrets. While having fun, you will learn a lot, and I will make sure you will leave Leiden with a smile on your face and great memories.
The top 5 highlights we will visit:
1. The 2nd largest ancient canal city grid and "Rapenburg" the country's most beautiful canal.
2. Oldest university in Holland (1575) and "Hortus Botanicus" where the first tulip bloomed.
3. Rembrandt was born in Leiden visit where he learned painting and Latin School close to his birthplace.
4. The elevated Burcht city fortress is located offers the best views of our city.
5. The cobblestoned Pieterskerk and Pilgrim area still has the old medieval town feeling.
