Leiden

Leiden is a nice city in the Netherlands that attracts both residents and visitors. This city is great for biking—there is no need for long trips, as you can travel from one end to the other in just 10-15 minutes! With a student atmosphere, there is a lot of activity and many things to explore, even for those not studying. When it comes to cost, you will find Leiden’s prices quite reasonable compared to other Western European cities. The locals are friendly, and most speak English well, making it easy to get around and feel comfortable. The city's location is also good—just a short train ride to larger cities like The Hague, Amsterdam, and Rotterdam. However, there is a downside; the housing market can be difficult because many students are looking for places to live. If you plan to visit or move here, be ready for this challenge! Overall, Leiden provides a good mix of culture and convenience, making it a nice place to experience Dutch life.
