Leiden is Europe’s hidden gem, one of the most charming monumental cities in the safe and stable Netherlands in the North-west of Europe, with multilingual citizens. The perfect place for those who seek to organise conferences in a relaxing and friendly atmosphere with high standards. Excellent access with Schiphol International Airport at 15 minutes by train.
Leiden has culture in its heart, with 14 museums. Here Rembrandt spent his juvenile life, and here the American Pilgrim fathers found their refuge and breeding ground. The centre, mainly built in the middle ages and the 17th century is a museum on its own with stately houses, parks, bridges, canals, alms houses and Gothic churches.
Leiden has an internationally renowned research University and one of the largest bioscience cluster in Europe and is proud of its multiple Nobel Prize winners.
Not fit to the massive congresses, but perfectly equipped to host up to 2000 participants who will love to stroll along Leiden’s streets from venue to hotel or anything interesting for a social programme. Leiden offers more than 20 conference venues both historical and contemporary.
