Leiden

Leiden, one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands, combines impressive history with a vibrant cityscape. For convertible drivers, Leiden serves as an attractive starting point for relaxed tours through South Holland. The city is conveniently located between The Hague and Amsterdam and is surrounded by a multitude of picturesque country roads, riverways, and coastal routes – ideal for those who want to enjoy culture and nature with the top down.

Along the Canals and Through the Green Heart

A special experience is the drive along the "Oude Rijn," which meanders through Leiden and leads into rural areas. On small roads, you pass by old farms, windmills, and idyllic villages – typically Dutch and wonderfully peaceful. Those who take their time discover numerous hidden paths that are particularly suitable for cozy convertible tours. In spring or summer, the fields around Leiden transform into a colorful sea of flowers – a dreamlike backdrop for extended drives.

Cultural Stops Along the Way

Leiden itself is a genuine gem for anyone who appreciates history and architecture. The well-preserved old town, interspersed with canals, offers numerous cafés, museums, and places to linger. The Rijksmuseum van Oudheden, the old university library, or the botanical garden Hortus Botanicus are worthwhile stops. Nearby, charming places like Warmond or Oegstgeest can be seamlessly integrated into a day trip.

From the Tulip Fields to the Coast

Anyone leaving Leiden in a convertible quickly reaches the famous Bollenstreek – the heart of the Dutch bulb region. Especially in spring, a tour through this colorful paradise is a real highlight. From there, it is just a stone's throw to the North Sea coast. Destinations like Katwijk aan Zee or Noordwijk not only offer sea views and dune landscapes but also cozy stops with fish sandwiches and ocean views. The winding roads along the coast provide true driving pleasure and make every convertible tour an experience.

Between Urban Flair and Natural Enjoyment

Leiden is not only an exciting destination as a cultural center but is also particularly attractive for convertible outings due to its location. Between historic alleyways, blooming fields, and the nearby North Sea coast, a varied tour can be designed that offers both relaxation and discovery.
