Oegstgeest

Green village next to Leiden, with the Groene Kerkje as a quiet classic.

Oegstgeest is a green village situated next to Leiden, yet it firmly guards its own character. Stately avenues, old country estates, and the Groene Kerkje give the village a peaceful, almost timeless atmosphere.

At the same time, Oegstgeest is anything but sleepy: people live, work, and eat well there, and Leiden is within cycling distance for those who want more of a city.

Loculy lists the places that make Oegstgeest worth visiting: from a walk along the Haarlemmertrekvaart to the addresses where the villagers themselves meet up for coffee or a drink.
