Leiden is an authentic Dutch city with a rich tradition of knowledge, science, culture and international relations. A city with beautiful canals, some 3,000 monuments, 12 leading museums and a vibrant city centre.

Leiden is where Rembrandt was born and learned the art of painting, where the physician Boerhaave spread his knowledge and where Clusius cultivated the first Dutch tulips 400 years ago. You will undoubtedly agree that Leiden deserves the title Leiden, Key to Discovery.

More than once, Leiden has been called the most beautiful city of the Netherlands. Not too surprising, considering the extent to which the city's rich history is still visible throughout the charming city centre.

Adding the large number of museums, the endless monuments and the thriving cultural climate in Leiden, you will certainly agree that the city more than deserves its reputation.

Leiden surprises and enriches you.

Dating back to 1705, the Leidse Schouwburg is the oldest theatre in the Netherlands. With its red velvet and golden ornaments the theatre offers a fantastic setting for presentations, performances and even exclusive dinners on stage. The attractive Bonbonnière, the Jacob van Rijndorp Foyer and Room 1705 are also excellent locations for meetings, private- or corporate receptions and dinner parties.
