Leiden steps into the past

by eiskje - last update: Nov 20, 2005

I have created a modest page on Lieiden. For specific Questions on Leiden you can always contact me. My shopping and historical tour is a great way to see something of Leiden in one day.

I have now (2005) updated the shopping tour, with new places and without those that went bankrupt or changerd owners.

Academic Building

This is the oldest University building of Leiden, and the site where they traditionally have graduations.

The building will close in 2005 due to extensive restoring, so if you are around take a quick peek!

 Leiden. Several years ago I stayed with my friend who lived in Alphen aan den Rijn. Every day I'd take the train to Leiden and connect with other trains to Den Haag or Amsterdam. Now I wish I would have taken a day and looked around Leiden a bit.

 It's nice to know that it has been remodelled in the past few years. We stayed there in August 2001 and were not impressed. The hotel felt dark and dirty. I agree with your comment about location. We like Leiden.
