Katwijk, Rijnsburg and Leiden

Leiden is referred to as Key City - referring to the city coat of arms with a white shield and two crossed red keys. The history of the city dates back to at least the year 860, when it was still a dike village built at the foot of an artificial hill. Today's Leiden is primarily a center of scientific knowledge and new technology. The oldest university in the Netherlands is located in Leiden. In addition to the city activity, you get a fantastic view over the Kagerplassen north of Leiden. It is a beautiful system of peat lakes and the oldest water sports area in the Netherlands and the sailing, rowing and motor sports club De Kaag provides the necessary life here. This association has had a significant significance in the development of water tourism around the water and in the area you will be immersed in a hospitable and relaxed atmosphere, with phenomenal views over the lakes.
