OUR LEIDEN

Walking-route Leiden Noord

Kooiplein (The Kooi Square) is a central place in Leiden North. This is a place where residents come together, but it’s also a junction where you can pass each other unnoticed while you’re on your way to work, school, the community center or the supermarket. Leiden North consists of the neighbourhoods De Kooi, Noorderkwartier and Groenoord. These historical districts where once the living area for the working-class of Leiden. In the last decade, these districts have become the scene of large-scale urban renewal. The neighbourhoods are in transition, houses are being renovated, and the municipality of Leiden has plans for the future of Leiden North. Our Leiden shows you a snapshot in time. A glimpse of nowadays Leiden North in 2021. We will take you with us through the streets to discover this place. Together with residents, we’ve created a city walk through Leiden North that consists of their favourite places. Check it out!
