Workation in Leiden: the essentials

The university founded here in 1575 is the oldest in the Netherlands, and Leiden still organises itself around it. About 127,000 people live in the municipality, on the Oude Rijn among canals, 17th-century facades and the Hortus Botanicus, where Clusius grew the first tulips in the Netherlands. Rembrandt was born here, and the Rijksmuseum van Oudheden, Naturalis and the Lakenhal are big for a city this size. Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is about 25 km away and the beach at Katwijk 30 to 35 minutes by bike. The Leiden Bio Science Park brings biotech jobs. A few coworking spaces exist, and students compete for rooms.
