Getting Around

busy street

The Leiden region is ideally located as it is within short travelling distance of large cities such as Amsterdam and The Hague. You can either take public transportation, the car, or, like most Dutch people, a bike.

Leiden is easily accessible via public transport (train and bus), car, taxi, boat and bike. Schiphol Airport is 20 minutes by train and Rotterdam - The Hague airport is 25 minutes away.  

Traveling around the Netherlands is easy thanks to the well-established public transportation and road networks. Want to see where 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes travel will take you from Leiden? Use Map It Out to see where you'll be able to get by public transport, car and more!
