Centuries of stories along its beautiful canals. The Netherlands' oldest university city. Home to many Pilgrim Fathers before the Mayflower voyage.
Leiden is a student city with canals, a windmill in the middle of town and the oldest university in the country. Rembrandt was born here, and the Pilgrims lived here for years before sailing to America.
For American visitors especially, this is often the most surprising day of the trip. The Pilgrim story is told here in a detail you rarely find at home.
