Leiden

Leiden is a University town where the Pilgrims lived before they ventured to Plymouth Rock. You'll find Leiden loaded with important museums. Leiden is 25 mi (40 km) southwest of Amsterdam, and makes a fine day trip. Sourced with thanks from Go Europe About Leiden Leiden, City of Discoveries When walking through Leiden it's rich history still seems very much alive. This is where Rembrandt was born and developed his painting skills and where Clusius brought the first Dutch tulips into flower. Leiden has 12 museums, all worth a visit. The priceless and unique collections on show enjoy international fame. Leiden's atmosphere is largely determined by the first university in Holland (1575), which has developed into a world-famous centre of science, while its many students contribute to the lively and convivial atmosphere in the city. Leiden has a large number of shops in the historic city centre. Also, every Wednesday and Saturday a large general market is held along the banks of the Rhine, a market that has existed for over 900 years! A great diversity in restaurants establishes Leiden as a truly culinary city. Sourced with thanks from Holland Rijnland
