Excursions
There will be a free afternoon and evening on Friday, 3rd of August. This will
give you an opportunity to do some sightseeing as you like.
If you would like to walk around by yourself, you can visit other famous Dutch
cities like Amsterdam or Rotterdam, which are close to Leiden (30-40 minutes
using public transport).
Anticipating good weather, renting a bicycle is also a good idea. There are
beautiful beaches in Noordwijk and Katwijk within cycling distance from Leiden.
