When you are on top of the wall, you have a great view over Leiden. For the rest there is not much to see.
This is a very unique place and it definitely deserves a visit.The only thing is that this site is tucked into a park surrounded by buildings, so it's very easy to miss it, even if you have a map! (That's what happened to us, anyway).Very beautiful view of the city.
Great elevation views of the historic city of Leiden! And dusk is the best time to visit!The small information plates show you why this citadel was the core of the city for centuries while it explains some of the other large buildings around it.
Using the directions facility of the app will take you to the wrong place. De Burcht is more in the town center.
This castle/fortress is minutes away from Leidens centre on foot and worth seeing. Even visiting in winter we saw amazing views and it even had some interesting information plaques.
The food is simple, but good. The mood is "Dutch". Well worth a visit. Especially good with a group of friends. In the Summer children can run around safely. Traffic is forbidden there.
这座要塞位于离市政厅不远的小丘上,是建于11世纪6米高的圆形的墙壁。墙上有好多枪眼,建筑中心为空地,那里有井和几棵树,以前这要塞也有洪水时避难所的作用。可以爬到墙上,也可以走一圈,从墙上面能看到市区的风景,从这个角度看到的圣潘克拉教堂特别好看。要塞周围都是草坪,在那儿休息也不错。据说,小丘是人造的,其脚下的运河畔排着一列气氛不错的餐厅,我们来要塞时,经过了那儿的一个餐厅,觉得很不错。
You will see Leiden from a beautiful vieuw, and will enjoy it more when walking around the burcht, the mediëval churches, buildings and more. When you finish this fabulous experience go downstairs and have a cappuccino. At Every corner you wiil find somewhere to chill!
This ancient building provides great views over various parts of Leiden and also gives a short description. Good to visit on a sunny day and great that there is a watering hole(pub) at the bottom of the steps.
The castle itself was used mostly for shelter during times of war and siege. The structure itself is not that interesting but the views are really nice. You can see across most of Leiden's city center and after having walked around it's ramparts and having soaked up the views, you can enjoy a drink at the lively koetshuis de burcht (especislly in summer) or the faded but really nice cafe de burcht. The summer and witer sunsets are equally stunning...
