Embark on the Leiden Audio Tour: Timeless Treasures of the Binnenstad Unveiled
A clandestine oath once echoed through Leiden’s shadowy halls, binding scholars and plotting revolution beneath ancient stained glass.
This self-guided audio tour peels back the well-worn cobbles of Binnenstad to reveal secrets and scandals most visitors stroll past. Listen closely and uncover the city’s overlooked drama at your own pace.
What crisis froze Museum Boerhaave and its scientists in suspense? Whose bones still lie hidden in the hush of Pieterskerk? And why did a single Egyptian artifact at the Rijksmuseum van Oudheden trigger an academic feud that spiraled out of control?
Stride through centuries as Leiden’s golden façades and forgotten alleyways shimmer with new menace and intrigue. Each landmark crackles with defiant whispers and untold stories for those daring enough to listen.
Press play and unlock Leiden’s deepest vaults—the echoes from those secret oaths are waiting.
