At the tourist information office in Leiden, you can buy various city walking guides in booklet form. We chose the classic one for €5: the Leiden Loop. The booklet explains the route and provides plenty of information about the sights along the way.

Leiden is truly worth seeing 🤩 ...not just because it's the birthplace of Rembrandt van Rijn.
