Leiden is compact enough to discover much on foot, but with a bike, the rest of the region is suddenly within reach. From the Papegaaisbolwerk, Fietsverhuur Leiden offers city bikes and e-bikes for visitors who want to explore on their own, but also organizes guided bike tours for those who prefer to discover the city with a guide.

You can rent a bike for a day, but also for a longer period. This makes the rental convenient not only for a day trip to Leiden, but also when you are staying here for a weekend, several weeks, or longer.

Decide for yourself where you cycle to

With a rental bike, you are not tied to one fixed route. From Leiden, you can easily cycle through the city center and then continue into the region.

A city bike is a practical choice if you mainly want to explore Leiden itself and the immediate surroundings. Those who wish to cover longer distances can also opt for an e-bike. In addition, Fietsverhuur Leiden rents out tandems.

It is precisely from a bicycle that you can combine a visit to the historic city with the landscape surrounding Leiden. Think of a longer trip towards the Groene Hart or the Bollenstreek, or simply a day when you want to combine different parts of Leiden without having to walk back every time.

Discover Leiden with a guide

If you don't want to plan a route yourself, Fietsverhuur Leiden also organizes guided bike tours.

During these tours, a city guide takes you through Leiden, covering various famous places and stories from the city. The route passes by historic buildings, canals, courtyards, and other sights, among other things.

The regular Highlights tour is approximately six to seven kilometers long. As such, the tour is not about covering as many kilometers as possible, but primarily about stopping regularly along the way and learning more about Leiden.

In addition to Dutch-language options, bike tours are also offered in other languages.

Also suitable for groups

Bicycles can also be used for a group outing. There are options for private bike tours and programs that can be tailored to a group's wishes.

This makes Fietsverhuur Leiden suitable for, for example, families, groups of friends, and companies who want to explore Leiden together.

Moreover, through partner Uitjes Leiden, cycling activities can be combined with other group activities in the city.

A practical starting point

The boarding point is located at Papegaaisbolwerk. From here, you can quickly reach the historic city center and, at the same time, easily cycle towards the areas outside the center.

Moreover, Fietsverhuur Leiden is located within walking distance of Leiden Centraal. This means you can pick up your bike from the train and then start your day in Leiden immediately.

Whether you are simply looking for transport for the day, want to take a longer bike ride through the region, or want to discover Leiden with a guide: at Fietsverhuur Leiden, you decide for yourself how many kilometers you want to cover during your visit.
