July 16, 2021 Marlin Saiz

Home to the Netherlands’ oldest university and the birthplace of Rembrandt, Leiden also served as a several-year stop-off between England and the New World for America’s Pilgrim fathers in the early 17th century. Today, lovely Leiden boasts the second-largest Dutch city center after Amsterdam. The National Museum of Antiquities has an impressive collection of Egyptian artifacts. The Hortus Botanicus, established in 1590, was the site of the planting of Holland’s first tulip bulbs in 1593.

Loved the canals in this city especially when the sky is blue which created beautiful reflections in the river. Great to take your time strolling along the canal and take some good pics.

Leidse Hout Park

Reviewed By Sholm - Juan-les-Pins, France

Vary close to Leiden center, yet a big park with lots of forest and a big open grass area very suitable for pique-nique or fun with kids. The park has a tea-house with service and a kids play ground next to it. There is also a closed area with birds and animals. A nice sunny day you can spend hours strolling around with friends and family.
