One of the city’s lesser-known spots is the charming Alley of the Booksellers, a narrow passage filled with secondhand bookstores and antique shops, perfect for those who love to get lost in the pages of old books. Not far from there, the Leiden American Pilgrim Museum offers a quiet reflection on the early settlers from Leiden who went on to shape American history.
For a peaceful escape, head to the serene Bos van Boskoop, a wooded area on the edge of the city, perfect for a relaxing walk or a picnic among the trees. Another hidden treasure is the Ruine van de Sint Pieter, the ruins of an old church that offer a glimpse into the city’s past and are often overlooked by the tourists.
Finally, the Leiden Canal is a lesser-known spot for a serene uu4za5doiuen23 boat ride, offering a quiet way to enjoy the beauty of the city from the water, with picturesque views of old houses and peaceful bridges.
