The Koorbrug is one of Leiden’s historic canal bridges, connecting the city center near the iconic town hall and overlooking the picturesque Nieuwe Rijn. Its central location and charming surroundings make it a popular spot for walking, sightseeing, and experiencing the city's rich architectural heritage.
The Hooglandse Kerk is one of Leiden’s most impressive Gothic landmarks, renowned for its soaring architecture and centuries of history dating back to the 14th century. Once intended to become a cathedral, it remains a striking symbol of the city and hosts cultural events, concerts, and exhibitions throughout the year.
The Pieterskerk is Leiden’s oldest church and one of the city’s most significant historical monuments, dating back to the 12th century.

The Gravensteen is a medieval fortress in the heart of Leiden, originally built in the 13th century by the Counts of Holland. Over the centuries it has served as a prison, courthouse, and residence, and today it stands as one of the city’s best-preserved historic landmarks.

About Leiden
Leiden is a canal city in South Holland with the Netherlands' oldest university, Rembrandt's birthplace, windmills and a botanical garden.
Leiden lies where two arms of the Rhine meet, and its old centre is a web of canals lined with gabled houses and bridges. The university, founded in 1575 by William of Orange as a reward for the city's resistance to a Spanish siege, is the oldest in the country, and its buildings crowd the Rapenburg canal. Rembrandt was born here in 1606, and the Burcht, a circular fortress on an artificial mound, looks over the rooftops.
Top-ranked sights in Leiden: Wall Poems of Leiden, Museum De Lakenhal, Leiden Rhine (Leiden Rijn).
