The book aims to provide a thorough exploration of the city of Leiden, celebrating its rich history, historical significance, and contemporary attractions for both locals and visitors. It serves as a navigational tool through the city's landmarks, cultural sites, and educational institutions, with a focus on both statistics and anecdotal personal experiences. The opening of this guidebook introduces Leiden through various perspectives, examining how individuals from different backgrounds define the city. It provides statistical facts about its size, population, and economic activities while highlighting the academic importance of the city as a home to a prestigious university. The text quickly shifts from mere statistical description to actively inviting the reader on a walk through Leiden, illustrating notable sites like the statue of Boerhaave and the botanical gardens, and emphasizing the interplay of history with the present-day experiences of its residents. The narrator not only describes famous sites but also reflects on the emotional and cultural significance of Leiden's landmarks, setting the tone for a personal and engaging journey through the city.
