Leiden is famous for its monuments, university and museums, but it also has a vibrant and attractive city centre with a large and diverse selection of pubs and cafés, eateries, antique shops, restaurants and small boutiques. As most streets and quays have been recently refurbished, the antique-style street lanterns again shed their warm glow onto the canals, alleys and squares, making Leiden one of the most attractive historical cities of Holland.
