I was born in Leiden and still live there, my family came to Leiden in the 15th century and never left. I did law school at Leiden university. The keys are the sign of Saint Peter, the patron saint of the town. The gate you saw is the Morspoort. Mors means marches. The mill you saw is called The Put and it grinds flower for a local baker, where my wife and I get our fresh bread. Yes it is a replica and it stands on the spot where Rembrandt’s father was a miller 😊. I could go on, but Leiden is great.
I love it when you said: "I could live here". Its such a liveable city. I was born and raised in Leiden but moved away to travel the world. I don'y miss The Netherlands but I do miss my city. Watching your video brings back so much memories and make me a little bit homesick.
Nate has the same vibe as me when seeing animals 😂 it's nice to see that no matter the animal species we can not stop ourselfs and have to approuch them, pet them, talk to them or even try to lure them 😂 Btw I loveeee Leiden. I grew up there ( born in Amsterdam, moved at 4 years old to Leiden). I live nearby now in a village next to Leiden but my mom still lives there so I am always in Leiden. You should do a boat trip next time, walk through the singelspark; it's 6,5 km walk through different parks and canals. There are some sightseeing like Molen de Valk. Where you start is where you finish but you can exit everuwhere if you don't want to walk 6,5 km. Or do a Hofjes wandeling (courtyard walk). Go to Hortus Botanicus and the Observatory where Einstein himself observed the stars. The chair he sat in is still there. And we have many mire museums to choose from.
The keys in the coat of arms of Leiden are explained simply: Saint Peter, the keeper of the gate to Heaven is the patron saint of Leiden. The keys are one of his attributes. So you see them everywhere.
@@nateandkatrinadotheworld They represent the key of St Peter (there is also a church called the Pieterskerk). In Leiden we joke that the second key is the spare key to heaven :).
Leiden had been sieged by the Spanish army for a year causing a famine in the city, but the people of Leiden held out until a certain Willem van Oranje had the levees "stabbed" so the area around was inundated and the city could be liberated by a fleet of flatbottoms. This was an important turning point in the 80-years war for indepence allthough there were 72 years more to go. It got it's university, the first in the Netherlands, as a reward for holding out, and it became a very important one soon as the Dutch Republic became a frontrunner in the early scientific revolution.
Yep, they needed to move because they lost half of their flock to the liberty in Amsterdam. Then, when they supplemented their flock with Dutch, German and French believers to about the same number, sailed to Plymouth and boarded the Mayflower. Not a well versed navigator because they didn't land where they supposed to.
@@Paul_C Leiden was also much to free for them. They didn't like religious freedom that much, they like their own religion. They were puritans, prudes, the Dutch protestants weren't that hung up on sexuality, whitin marriage or to find a spouse lots of liberties were allowed and the Pilgrim fathers feared the effect on their children.
It's just one of the best cities. The center is essentially a maze of cute little historic things, you can live there for years and still discover new stuff. Could not have wished for a better place to grow up in. It was idyllic, quiet and at its peak beauty in the 90's. But you only realize your luck after the fact, don't you? Now it's popular, with everything that comes with it.
Many world famous Astronomers studied and worked in Leiden, check it out. The Hortus Bontanicus, it is like Zoo for plants, has 300 year old trees from former colonies etc... it started as the herbs garden for the University, many many tropical plants and trees. Very rare ones too.
@nateandkatrinadotheworld The Hortus Botanicus is very beautiful to visit from late spring till early autumn. You can combine it with a visit to the famous star observatory where ones Einstein did do research.
Ah! You finally found the opportunity to visit my hometown! There’s a lot more to see and experience in Leiden, so: return if and when you can and-just a kind suggestion-put the botanical garden (Hortus Botanicus) at the top of your ‘in case of outdoor weather’ list 😊
You missed the pilgrim museum in the oldest building in the city. Pretty big thing for Americans. Why is there? Because the Mayflower set sail from Leiden. There’s also a Mayflower monument in the side of the Pieterskerk.
Yeahhh, you actually went visiting a windmill inside! Whoohoo! What a luxury inside there... this was really a huge one. I still recommend the Museum mill in Schermerhorn, near Alkmaar. On a windy day, you can really see how the water is pumped up. And i can tell you: less luxury for the people who lived outthere...
Congrats on a very nice video about the town where I grew up, and still live close to. Very nice to see you visiting all these spots which are all so normal to me :-) Oh, and yes, October 3rd is a big thing here, everybody eating haring & wittebrood and hutspot of course. Come back and see for yourself!
where i call home these days! what i love about leiden is that it is small and quaint, but still lively. the centre (within the boundaries of the outer canals) feels a bit like an oversized, elitist village 😅 but it makes for a great atmosphere and good quality of life - if you can overlook university student shenanigans of course
My first time seeing your channel and you're in my favourite town in all The Netherlands. Thanks for taking us on a tour. Subscribed! ps: all calico cats are female
Glad you made it to Leiden - I wrote a 4-part mystery adventure series about a young Dutch professor based in Leiden, which is one of my favourite Dutch cities besides Haarlem and Den Bosch. And I think you did a nice mini-tour. Plus, the savory pancakes and gelato look tasty. So, you'll have to return on October 3rd and celebrate the freedom from the Spanish siege while eating hutspot and herring. 😁
Nice vlog Katrina. And Nate. 9 out of 10. Would have been 10 out of 10 if you would have showed dinner. Btw, last week i did see you few vlogs from Iceland. It was endearing to see how in love Nate was at the time 🥰😎
October 3 is 1 of the biggest parties in the Netherlands. We are then conducting the liberation of Leiden. Funfair throughout the city and music and party everywhere
I actually live in Leiden. It is very nice indeed. Een fantastische stad. Veel leuker dan Amsterdam. You should go to Naturalis next time, and see the T-rex skeleton they have there.
you probably had jonge kaas (maybe jong belegen) young cheese doesnt lay as long and thus retains some moisture. by far most popular choice among kids to put on bread, old cheese is a lot saltier. I still prefer it tbh :P
Visiting Leiden and not eat herring is like going to New Orleans and not have gumbo.. especially when you mention 3 october.. haring en wittebrood is a must.. ditch the onions if the herring is good.. onions are there to cover up soso herring.
3 Oktober in Leiden is the celebration festival of the liberation of Leiden. They traditionally eat herring and white bread on that day and hutspot / hotchpotch. They drink lots of beer and wine too. There also is a huge fair / kermis in Leiden on that day. An expensive fair but to be fair it is a nice fair. I believe the people of Leiden have a free day of work too. Maybe nice for you 2 to check out sometime. P.s. There are videos on UA-cam about 3 oktober Leiden. Also by an American couple called T and T Go Dutch. I believe the title of their video is "Our First Leiden Ontzet 3 oktober". Is it bigger than Kingsdsay ?
@@nateandkatrinadotheworldI have been to the 3 Oktober liberation festival. It was fun. I picked up a cute girl in Leiden on 3 Oktober. She was a friend of my niece or so I tought. My niece said that girl was a far niece of mine I did not know about. That was a big dissapointment lol. P.s. The inhabitants of Leiden get FREE herring and white bread I believe.
If you have never tried a tompouce you don't know what your are missing😀 However.... forget about the fork that goes with it. I've long abandoned all hope, and eat it with my hands 😑
A lot of wellknown people studied in Leiden. Yeah duhh... I studied there! 🙂 Leiden is fun and I spend all the hours I was expected to attend at Statistics class at the Bruine Boon 🙂 And later on when I worked in Leiden at Annie's Verjaardag we did the Vrijdag avond borrel 🙂
Ha, yes, we know… we eat too many of them! I think she meant it was “caramely”, as in, kind has caramel vibe and taste. Us Americans often turn nouns into verbs… 🤣
@@nateandkatrinadotheworld My memory was triggered by these pictures from pancakehouse Oudt Leyden, as I lived between 2005 and 2010 at the opposite of the square, overlooking both Hotel Mayflower and the pannenkoekenhuis for 5 years. Greetings from Eindhoven!

Jesus Nate, bring back Coast 2 Coast pinball podcast !! The current pinball podcast crop are a bunch of Shills. Except eclectic and slam tilt. We need Coast 2 Coast !! Bring it back, you can do it.
When the weather is nice, almost every place will look nice. So some windmills in The Netherlands are fake? Who knew! Only €2,- for such a gigantic stroopwafel should be verboden: they are ruining the market. I bet on the Champs-Elysées these would easily go for 16 USD. If you saw movie Oppenheimer in a Dutch bioskoop you might have heard the people laughing at the Dutch he's supposed to be speaking. Calico cats (lapjeskatten) are almost always female. That's enough wijsneuzerij for now. (oh anda pancakes are not breakfast in case you didn't know)
To us Americans it is! That’s one of our favorite parts of exploring in Europe… so much history and things to learn. Thanks for checking out the video!

My friend, who is currently staying with me in England, was born and still lives in Leiden. I must visit there some time, it looks great.
Please people, keep Leyden a big secret, we don't want to end like mad Amsterdam. Being overrun by tourists.
We like to share nice places that we visit.
Don't worry.. it's not thát special

Love your vlog, very informative. At least for me it's a good balance of landmarks/sceneries and food. The itinerary is totally my cup of tea.

The Pilgrims, first settlers in America, used to live in Leiden for a while, after leaving Britain, before they went to the USA.
Little know but a fact for sure
We were all set for the Pilgrim Museum, but time ran out on us. Next trip!
Yep, they needed to move because they lost half of their flock to the liberty in Amsterdam.

@@nateandkatrinadotheworldyup some the pilgrimfathers where actually living in the small houses on the side of the Hooglandsekerk
Oppenheimer stayed in Leiden as well. And the Pilgrim Fathers ofc.
I'm very glad you enjoyed our humble little city!
Leiden is nice because there are many students, happy people in general.
It did seem like a happy place!
I am flying to Amsterdam from Houston Texas this month, and plan to visit this city and Hauge. Hopefully the weather will be good. Thanks for sharing!

there is more food coming, lol what a suprise starting to like you guys more and more, keep it up..
Thansk! That’s what we do!
I already liked them when they were still awful.
There is an original Dutch windmill of Krommenie in the USA. It’s in Holland, Michigan and was moved to the USA in 1964.
very nice and beautiful video again, finally it's going well again, sun, thank you very much again, I enjoyed it
Thanks Peter! Summer is here!

Robert J. Oppenheimer was also in Leiden (in 1928) . There he learned the Dutch language very quickly and got his nickname Opje.
When in Leiden, go to the world famous Hortus Bontanicus, and to the Observatory next door, , and to the Tropen Museum.
We have to go back, to sure!

Leiden is my #2 city in the Netherlands. Utrecht being #1 my old home city.
Both good choices! Thanks for watching!
I went up the windmill you went into one rainy November morning and went on the deck. The man was getting the sails ready. Nice experience.
It’s a great windmill!

You should go. It's pretty great.
As a French I never heard of Tompouce in my life... maybe the person in charge made a special joke 😂
It’s definitely unique to The Netherlands and a must try! People have told us that it is very similar to a mille-feuille. 🤷🏼♀️
