Leiden, Netherlands: A Charming Day Trip from Amsterdam

Leiden is one the prettiest towns in the Netherlands and only 30 minutes from Amsterdam by train. It makes a perfect trip to explore the historic city. Our local friends offered to show us around what they referred to as a mini Amsterdam. We were doubtful it was really like a mini Amsterdam but were surprised with the cute house and quaint houses (with less crowds). Our friends showed us around the local market where we sampled delicious snacks, one of the last windmills in the city, unique churches, local shopping, and their favorite French bakery. The last stop of the day was a gigantic home goods store filled with Christmas decorations. You'll love Leiden!
