Leiden Rhine (Leiden Rijn)

Winding through Leiden’s historical quarter, the Leiden Rhine is a central and picturesque feature of the city. As it meanders through the canal-laced old district, the river splits into the Old Rhine (Oude Rijn) and New Rhine (Nieuwe Rijn) before converging again. This layout offers visitors the chance to cruise its waters, dine at floating restaurants, and stroll along cobbled banks. The riverside is dotted with historic bridges, windmills, and gabled houses, providing a charming backdrop for a leisurely walk or a boat ride.
