Old remainings of a fort,it's a great place for a view over whole city. The highest point after VD (6-floor shop by the main canal)

Medieval tower built to shelter the city inhabitants in case of emergencies, had several different uses throughout the ages. Though quite empty as an historical castle, it is a special building; it offers a nice, free view of the city, good photo opportunities, the park is nice (and can be used for picnics and relaxing during warm summer days) and the cafés near the entrance are quite good.

This place is absolutely amazing! Ideal for couples looking for a romantic place where to spend their holidays and, why not, their honey moon. The place is mostly flat and presents lots of canals, it reminded me of Venice. Very pictoresque!

A nice old Fort in the middle of the Centre of Leiden. Nice view over the city, green, for the people who likes the history of Leiden. Restaurants and cafe's around for a drink or something else. Just a nice place to see and walk around!
