Leiden Bio Science Park

Investigate a wealth of cultural heritage from every continent and learn about the traditions, art and religions that make human culture so diverse.

Once full of cattle and sheep for sale, this pretty square overlooking a canal is now the starting point for canal boat cruises and a great spot for morning coffee.

The past comes alive at Lieden’s National Museum of Antiquities, where you’ll explore cultures of the ancient Egyptians, the Romans, Greeks, Syrians and Persians.

The classical building by the canal is where merchants once sent their goods to be weighed before market. These days it’s a music venue and gallery.
