Prachtig museum met veel historische beelden en voorwerpen. Zeker de moeite waard om er een kijkje te gaan nemen. Prachtig, dat deze eeuwenoude dingen bewaard blijven. more »

Wij komen al jaren lang in Naturalis. Fantastische plek. Maar nu zijn ze met nieuwbouw bezig. Op de web site staat dat het gedeeltelijk open is. Dit is niet waar. Ze hebben een kleine expositie gemaak... more »

We have been coming for years in Naturalis. Fantastic place. But now they are working with new construction. On the web site it says that it is partially open. This is not true. They have a small exhibition made in and around the entrance in the historic building next to what is so there is nothing open from the old Naturalis. For little ones very nice but for older non. The photo exhibition is wonderful. In September they get an exhibition about poison. Fell and was not worth the trip to Leiden!!! Mid-2019 is the newly open.

Where to stay in Leiden

A relatively small city with a big student population, Leiden caters to both long- and short-stay visitors making their plans on a limited budget. The historical city center remains the most expensive area, offering rooms in charming old buildings turned into elegant hotels. Just a short walk from this area you can choose from inexpensive lodgings in family-run inns, where cozy rooms come with private parking and free Wi-Fi. For added mobility without the extra cost, look for guesthouses that offer free bikes for use around the city.
