About Paris

Experience Boat Tours in Leiden

Best things to do: Leiden is a city of architecture, so a cruise is a perfect way to see its beauty. Back on firm ground, places like De Valk Windmill Museum, the Museum of Natural History, and the Botanical Gardens are among the top places to visit in Leiden.

The time to go: August is peak season, which fits in with much of Europe. So if you’d like to go when the crowds are lower and the weather a little cooler, then it’s got to be spring and autumn.

Tiptoe through the tulips: Looking for adventures in the land of windmills and canals? Head to Keukenhof during the tulip season (late March until mid-May). You’ll want to get in early as tickets for these go quickly.


• Leiden has a rich history, and one of its famous sons is none other than painter Rembrandt, who was born and raised here. He would move to Amsterdam, but his early years were certainly shaped here.

• The Huys van Leyden is something of a national monument. It dates back over 400 years. It’s small so getting a room could be tough.

• After your cruise, take a walk around the city and explore. You’ll find there are wall poems dotted around. It’s a project that started in 1992 and concluded in 2005. You’ll find they are in the language of the writer, so include Japanese, Russian and Turkish.
