hello zesties ๐
i went to leiden on a day trip โ๏ธ (context: i stayed in tilburg, netherlands) and really enjoyed it! it was recommended by a friend studying there for the VIBESZ and i can really tell you it was so vibey ๐!
for more europe tipstricksreviewsreccos etc, check out #sarahineurope bc i visited 24 countries & an ungodly amount of cities ๐๏ธ
ok back to the post: leiden was mainly locals (unlike amsterdam & now utrecht too) & they were so chill, living their slow-paced lives lounging around on the boats ๐ค ~ the canals were really nice here, as well as the streets & the churches! the cafes were nice as well, on a sunny day โ๏ธ everyone is j sitting outside enjoying themselves โบ๏ธ
you can take a 30min ish train๐ to leiden from amsterdam! its pretty near den haag as well and other popular destinations to visit in the netherlands ๐ณ๐ฑ so its a very accessible place. and the entire leiden is walkable๐ถโโ๏ธ cos its not very big!
onto my ๐ก ๐ ๐ ๐ธ๐ฑ๐ผ๐ธ๐ฒ ๐ ๐ก

Molen De Valk
๐ฌ๏ธ windmill in leiden! its really nice when viewed across the canal w the boats gg thru & people j picnicking on the grass patch near d windmill
๐ฌ๏ธ or viewed down the road so the rows of trees & shops frame it from the side!
๐ฌ๏ธ apparently can go inside, issa museum, but we never enter
Rapenburg
๐ฆ rly nice canal framed by houses that look rly dutch, v amsterdam vibes here
๐ฆ but diff vibe cos is more locals & more chill, less people
๐ฆ locals on the boats passing thru the canals r so cute!
๐ฆ j sit on a bench alongside the canal and watch
Jan Pesijnshof
๐ historical place of residence similar to another one in amsterdam, this one is less guarded but still requires silence cos residents live here!
๐ is behind a closed wooden door so js have to gan gan open it up, its allowed & ur not trespassing
Burcht Van Leiden
๐ฐ fortress up on a small hill! can climb the fortress for p sick views of leiden (trees block some of the views tho)
๐ฐ grassy area around the fortress where people chill & picnic, such a vibe honestly
Marekerk
๐ not very nice looking from up close but like across the canal it looks rly nice
Hartebrugkerk
โช๏ธ nice church, love the blue exterior & columns
Pieterskerk
๐ typical gothic church
โ๐ซโโ๐ดโโ๐ดโโ๐ฉโโ
Lupi Coffee
โ๏ธ really nice area to sit outside on a good day under an umbrella & people watch the famous street
โ๏ธ iced teas r nice, they put the blend of tea leaves inside beside the counter so u can smell it for urself and decide which to get
Woo Ping
๐ฅก the most outrageous fever dream experience ever, not even joking
๐ฅก food was meh at best, everything tasted like black bean sauce and the pork belly was lowkey HARD AHHAHAHA
๐ฅก had a merlion logoโฆ n the waiter (founders grandson) was so chatty and the whole conversation was as confusing as the food
๐ฅก after-dinner sweets were hella confusing as well
๐ฅก our friend staying in leiden double confirmed the food was damn shitty HAHAHAHHAA
ok thanks for reading i hope this entices you to take a day trip there & venture BEYOND amsterdam (i actl hate ams)
