This travel guide is a tour of Leiden, a city in the Netherlands that is known for being the birthplace of Rembrandt and for its connection to the Mayflower and the pilgrims. The tour visits 11 landmarks, including the original town wall, the oldest church in Leiden, the house where John Robinson lived, the Leiden University, and the Pilgrim Museum. Our travel video highlights the significance of Leiden to American history, as many of the pilgrims who sailed on the Mayflower came from Leiden.
