Meeting Benches World art in all forms
Everyone loves to travel, but not everyone loves to travel the same way. All you have to do is have the time in your life. Meeting Benches. The way to make the world a better place is easy. Choose a bench, where you can publish what you have painted or written, a review of a book that you’ve read, or the story of a journey that you have made. Past and Present are here and now. Our proposal call any web-traveler to sit into Meeting Benches info@meetingbenches.com to share emotions, observing new creative horizons.
Imagine a small Amsterdam, where houseboats – with impeccable design – are move undisturbed on the water channels. Imagine also elegant nineteenth century buildings, that adorn the historic center of the city, where coffee tables and restaurants are filled with colors, until late at night. That city is Leiden, http://www.visitleiden.nl/en/plan-your-visit/information/tourist-information-centre with the oldest universities of Holland, where the atmosphere you breathe is full of light-heartedness.
Walking around Leiden, the city’s glorious history seems to come to life. Get to know the town by way of a walking tour. A wide choice of themes are available with an English instruction. Buy one of the Leiden city walks at the Leiden Tourist Information Centre. If you prefer, you can discover Leiden from the water (apart form Amsterdam, Leiden has the largest number of city canals in the Netherlands). The city is also an area of beautiful lakes and pools, with only a short distance from Leiden to the coast. Leiden looks very different travelling by boat.
Food and drink? Leiden has hundreds of restaurants, cafés and bars (yes, every cuisine imaginable you can be found here, and there is something available in every price range). Nieuwe Rijn / Stadhuisplein, is one of Leiden’s most atmospheric areas. This is where you will find many of the city’s restaurants and cafés, with their canal-side terraces (or even a terrace on the water, if you prefer). We recommend you go to the number 13 of Breestraat, where waiting for you the Restaurant Het Koetshuis de Burcht http://www.koetshuisdeburcht.nl/ Buffet suggestions? You can choose Burcht Buffet (€ 30,00 p.p.). It is an Koud buffet.
