Leidse Burcht (Leiden’s castle)
Leiden’s castle is built on an artificial hill, which was constructed in the 11th century and a wooden fortification was built on top of it. Around the year 1150 the present stone castle replaced the wooden fortification.

Entry is through the sandstone gate at Burgsteeg 11 or from the Oude Rijn through the Van der Sterrepad in Leiden.

Cruises
Another wonderful way to explore Leiden and getting a different perspective of the town is by taking a boat trip in the beautiful ancient canals. There are quite a few boat trips companies in Leiden and the weather should not be taken into consideration, as most boats have transparent roofs to avoid the rain.
