Ideal Summer Day Trip in Leiden 🇳🇱

Leiden is easily one of the best day trips you can take from Amsterdam in The Netherlands! Just a 30 minute drive away, you can visit this amazing city filled with history, museums, gorgeous canals and of course great food. If you plan to visit on a Saturday, as we did, you can visit their awesome Saturday Market which takes place just on Saturdays and Wednesdays, and runs along the canal banks.

We spent a warm summer day in Leiden discovering what there was to see. We certainly couldn't do everything in just one day, so a return trip will have to happen. We explored an amazing museum (Rijksmuseum Boerhaave) and had an awesome lunch at the oldest Pancake House in the city ('t Pannenkoekenhuysje Oudt Leyden).

We’re on a mission to visit and vlog every country in Europe. From iconic landmarks to hidden gems, we’re sharing real, unfiltered travel experiences across the continent. Whether it’s trying local cuisine, exploring historic cities, or getting lost in small towns, each vlog captures what it’s really like to travel through Europe as Americans. Subscribe and follow along as we take on all 46 European countries, one vlog at a time!

We try to give you a true view of us and how we travel and explore the world. Lots of food, definitely some jokes, and probably some swearing…. Hope you enjoy taking these trips with us!
