Rondvaart Leiden

Rondvaart Leiden

Leiden is a city you really must see from the water as well. At Rondvaart Leiden, you step aboard right in the historic city center and discover the city from a completely different perspective. From the canals, you watch the bridges, monumental buildings, and lively quays pass by peacefully, while a skipper tells you more about Leiden along the way.

Discover Leiden from the canals

The city cruise departs from the Aalmarkt, right in the center of Leiden. During the cruise, an experienced skipper and guide will take you through the Leiden canals and you will hear stories about the city and its history. The commentary is provided in Dutch and English.

It is precisely from the water that places and details stand out that you would easily walk past. That makes a canal cruise a lovely way to get to know Leiden for the first time, but even if you have visited the city before, it is surprising to see it from the canals.

Out on the water yourself

Would you prefer to decide where to sail yourself? At Rondvaart Leiden, you can also rent a sloop and take to the water at your own pace. This way, you choose your own route through the city and turn an afternoon of boating into exactly the outing that suits your group.

Those who want to take a more active approach can also rent a SUP. From a SUP, you discover the Leiden canals in a completely different way and set your own pace entirely.

Boating with a group

Rondvaart Leiden also offers various possibilities for groups. Think of a company outing, family day, or any other occasion where you want to go out on the water together. Boat tours can be combined with food and drinks, and various packages are available.

The departure point at the Aalmarkt is situated right amidst the shops, restaurants, and sights of Leiden's city center. This makes a boat trip easy to combine with the rest of a day in Leiden.
