Murder Mystery

The entertaining Treasure Hunt walks allow you to explore the historic city centre at your own pace. The routes are easy to follow, with clues to find and a mystery to solve, while taking in the most beautiful and surprising areas of the city.

The Murder Mystery route (Mysterieuze Moordroute) investigates the murder of a leading astronomer. You circle around the most beautiful of Leiden's canals: the Rapenburg canal, looking for clues. 

Murder Mystery

The Treasure Hunt walks are designed for everyone aged 6 to 100; they are written for adults, but with a little help they are also very suitable for children! Each route is around 3.5 km long and takes around 2.5 hours to complete.

The route booklets can be purchased for €12.95 from the VVV Leiden Tourist Information Office or via the webshop. The Murder Mystery route is also available in English.
