City tour of Leiden with a city guide!<\/h2><\/div>\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

Do you want to see more than just the well-known highlights? Then we'll take you on a city walk through Leiden, full of history, stories, and hidden places.<\/p>\n

This is how you discover the city's origins, the story behind Leiden's Relief and Rapenburg, and the University's influence on Leiden. Additionally, we will show you lesser-known streets, almshouses and unique locations that you wouldn't easily find yourself.<\/p>\n

Not only do you see the city, but you also truly experience Leiden.<\/p>\n

This is why a city walk is ideal for a day out, a team outing in Leiden, or a company or departmental outing.<\/p>\n

Finally<\/strong> Our city tours are available in multiple languages (Dutch, English, German, French).<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t

\n\t\tSuch a lovely courtyard in Leiden. I visited the Eva van Hoogeveen courtyard today on my city walk. It\u2019s in full bloom and beautifully maintained, as always.

\n\t\t\ud83e\uddc0 The Leiden Cheese House \u2013 Hoge Woerd, Leiden

If you walk through the Hoge Woerd, you might glance past this facade... but anyone who looks up will see a piece of Leiden's history.

The name \u201cHet Leidsche Kaashuis\u201d recalls a time when this street was filled with artisan shops and trade. For centuries, Leiden was a true cheese city, where farmers from the region brought their cheeses and where the famous Leiden cumin cheese was traded.

These kinds of facades \u2013 with their characteristic tile panels and ornamental details \u2013 tell a story of craftsmanship, local pride, and daily activity. Not only was cheese sold here, but the rhythm of the city was also set.

Nowadays the building has a new purpose, but the name on the facade remains\u2026 as a silent reminder of Leiden in days gone by.

\ud83d\udc49 Look up more often when you're walking around town. You'll discover more than you think.

\n\t\tWalking along the Rapenburg, you are essentially walking through layers of history. What began as a defensive wall, in the 17th century grew to become the city's calling card. Wealthy cloth merchants had their houses built here \u2013 stately, wide, and with views of the water.

Today, the Rapenburg is perhaps the most beautiful canal in Leiden. Quiet, green, and with an almost self-evident elegance. Look at the facades and imagine how many stories are hidden behind them.

Leiden at its best.

\n\t\tDid you know that the Zuid-Hollandsche Bierbrouwerij in Leiden was once much more than just beer? \ud83c\udf7a

This used to be a depot and bottling plant, with a special \u201ccold store\u201d in the backyard. In winter, natural ice was stored here, straight from the Leiden canals and ditches.

In summer? Then that ice went to cafes around town - the way to keep drinks cool before the fridge existed.

But everything changed in the 1970s. Big breweries and soft drink manufacturers took over distribution... and so the characteristic round gate closed for good.

A piece of forgotten Leiden history, hidden behind those old walls.
