The Singel Promenade
2 hour
(6.5 km)
A walk around the edge of the city centre of Leiden. Parks, cemeteries, factories and working-class neighbourhoods, the Singel Promenade tour shows an area that was developing rapidly during the 19th and 19th centuries. This walk around the outskirts of the historic city centre gives a surprising perspective of a city slowly wresting itself free of the confines of the city walls.
The Singel Promenade walking tour is available from the VVV Leiden Tourist Information Office and costs €4.50 or you can order it from the webshop.
