Activity itinerary

Burcht van Leiden

  • 10m
The Burcht van Leiden is a medieval shell keep on an artificial mound. a circular wall of tuff and brick raised after earlier wooden defences. and for centuries it was the city’s last refuge when armies closed in.

het Stadhuis van Leiden uit 1596 (Pass by)

The Breestraat side of Leiden’s city hall wears a sandstone Renaissance façade added between 1595 and 1597. a civic hoarding in Obernkirchen stone proclaiming recovered prosperity after the Spanish siege was broken in October 1574.

de Waag Leiden (Pass by)

Weigh houses were critical infrastructure in cloth cities: every bale could be re‑measured against municipal standards before duty and price were agreed.

Museum De Lakenhal

  • 50m
  • Admission ticket not included
The Lakenhal’s stepped gables and civic scale announce an economic engine: here Leiden’s cloth was inspected, measured, and sold under municipal oversight.

Morspoort (Pass by)

The Morspoort’s stone version was completed 1668–1669 with an octagonal dome; it is one of three surviving historic city gates of Leiden, together with the Zijlpoort and the Doelenpoort.

Weddesteeg (Pass by)

Rembrandt van Rijn was born in 1606 in the miller’s house wedged into Weddesteeg

Hortus Botanicus Leiden

  • 30m
Hortus botanicus was founded in 1590 as a university teaching garden. among the oldest botanical gardens in the world still on its original site.

Academy Building Leiden (Pass by)

Charter, Crest, and Praesidium Libertatis

Pieterskerk Leiden

  • 10m
The Pieterskerk’s late-Gothic bones. long nave, slender columns, traceried windows. still carry the gravity of a European crossroads.

Van der Werfpark

  • 10m
The park’s name carries the memory of mayor Pieter Adriaansz. van der Werf

Hooglandse Kerk

  • 14m
The Hooglandse Kerk rises with the confident verticals of late Gothic brick. a hall church whose aisles and nave share one high roofline, so sound and light move together when doors stand open.

De Zijlpoort (Pass by)

The Zijlpoort faces the lower land where relief ships once nosed through flooded fields
