Leiden is a beautiful city to explore by bike. From the historic city center, you’ll soon find yourself cycling past charming canals, monuments, and windmills into the green countryside. Around Leiden, polders, lakes, and the characteristic peat meadow landscape alternate.
Thanks to its location between the Green Heart, the Kagerplassen, and the Dune and Bulb Region, there are plenty of options for varied bike rides. Cycle along the water toward Kaag and Braassem, or choose a route through the flower fields to the dunes and the coast near Katwijk and Noordwijk. Along the way, there are plenty of nice spots to stop and take a break.
