Ever since the foundation of the first university of the Netherlands in 1575 to the title ‘European City of Science 2022’, Leiden has had the international reputation of being a centre of knowledge and innovation. One of the strong examples of innovation in Leiden is the Leiden Bio Science Park: the largest concentration of Life Science research, education and business in the Netherlands, and one of Europe’s five most successful science parks.

Leiden, where culture meets Science

The majority of cultural institutions are simultaneously available as venue for your conference or event. The Leiden Schouwburg – as the oldest theatre in the Netherlands – not only still functions as the city’s main theatre, but is also very suitable for events of a certain stature. The two grand churches of the city are often used as impressive backdrop to big events. Moreover, the museums of Leiden play a double roll: on the one hand they are a cultural institution, yet on the other hand they are a perfectly suitable venue for your event.

Getting to Leiden is easy

The city is close to all major international travel hubs with frequent train connections to all parts of the country. Leiden is a mere 15 minute train ride away from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. Due to the compact scale of the city centre, virtually all points of interest are within walking distance of each other. Walking through the charming historical centre passing the many monuments and canals, you will discover the rich cultural heritage of Leiden at every corner.
