"Leiden, a laid back life"

I recently moved to Leiden from NYC and the relative slow pace of the city is something I've grown to love. A short distance from den Haag and Amsterdam both, it's a smaller, cleaner, and more laid back town. Plenty of canal cafes, bars, and gorgeous churches and historic sites, including a plaque commemorating Rembrandt's birth. Check out the Saturday market, which has fresher veg than ones in Amsterdam, and gorgeous, and cheap, flowers.
Pros: laid back, beautiful atmosphere
Cons: closed on Sundays, doesn't feel urban
Details: Train from Amsterdam-30 mins, or the Hague, 10 mins to Leiden Centraal
