Dutchies: What to do around Leiden (NL)?

Hey,

my little bro and 3 of his friends (all around 18 years old) will go to Leiden (NL) for a week this summer.

1)
What good attractions can they do in Leiden or around it? From what I see that city is close to Den Haag and Amsterdam, so very likely that they will visit those cities.

Can you recommend good, fun, young adultish attractions for this group of people?

(No museum, no drug stuff, no nightlife or any other kind of form of an attraction where the focus is on drinking alcohol).

2)
Can someone recommend a site or a place to find cheap hotels in Leiden? I already got sth. but just in case.

3)
Can someone tell me if they can purchase a group ticket for a week for public transport? Like with that ticket they can take whatever public bus/train they want? Cost?


Thank you in advance.

They should've picked another destination then, because Leiden is especially known for culture (museums and the old city center) and its nightlife (lot of students). That said, I'm not really sure why they're going on holiday in the first place if they don't like either of those things.
What is a holiday without a shit ton of beer

One of his friend's family have a vacation apartment there. So the family of 1 of his friends will stay there. And the other guys want to be close, so they can altogether do stuff. That is why they will stay in Leiden.
I mean when there are big cities next to it like Den Haag or Amsterdam, it looks strange why in first place they will stay there. But as I explained, it is because 1 of his friend will stay there, so all go there.

you can look for KyLie there ;)
I don't understand what you're to do when traveling if you aren't visiting museums and getting fucked up? Like seriously what do you guys actually want to do with your time? Eat cheese?
You can get "fucked up" at home, no need visiting another country for that. Like seriously what do you actually do with your time? Getting "fucked up" all the time?
Parent
Yep, pretty much.

About the alcohol thing. It must be a sad life for people, if they can't have fun in their life without alcohol/drugs. I pity you guys.

Secondly, my bro is a muslim. And very likely his friends will drink a beer or two for sure, but they can also drink alcohol here. You visit once a different country, and all you can do is to drink alcohol? Really? Like you can't do that in your city? How pathetic.

I am asking for attractions you can do together. Its vacation, you supposed to have fun with people. And nobody llikes visiting museums, they are boring.

Foxy gave me some good tips by the way.
She said in Amsterdam they should visit Dappermarkt or Albert Cuyp or Westermarkt.
And also there will be a movies open summer thingy, called plukdenacht.
And she suggested to visit some festivals. That kind of stuff is good.

Anything they could do in Den Haag? Any suggestions?
Breakfast: beer
Lunch: beer
Dinner: beer
Midnightsnack: beer

Danke Slobodan.

No1 said that you HAVE to drink alcohol to enjoy yourself. It's more about that when you're 18 yo and go on a vacation, it's pretty normal that you want to go out. Doesn't mean that have to get fucked up.

You're a pussy faggot if you don't get fucked up tho.
Parent
If you think museums are boring I pity you. How pathetic.

How is that relevant? You can do just about anything in any city.

So instead of going to museums (because nobody likes going to museums???) you're going to visit flower markets and watch movies? Might as well stay home, I am sure you can do those things in your own city.

Rijksmuseum, Anne Frank House, Van Gogh Museum (visit a smart shop before this one).
Parent
Look, why can't you guys just play the game by the rules? Why?

I stated clearly what the group of my bro is NOT looking for and you argue with me about why they don't want to go to museums instead. I DON'T KNOW. I don't care.

About the flower markets and watching movies. THESE ARE SUGGESTIONS. If you have better ones, keep giving me them, I will pass them over. Thanks for the suggestions.
Parent
You're clearly not from Amsterdam... :)
Parent
What gave that away? The Canadian flag?
Parent
lol what a faggot
Thank you very much. That could be interesting probably.
Parent
You can also visit the whores during daytime in Amsterdam if you don't want nightlife.
OHNOES!! true story
Parent
haha subtiel
Parent
Wij hebben verschillende definities van subtiel denk ik
Parent
subtiel ben ik iig in deze journal toch al niet
Parent
sorry, maar ik lees die boeken van jou niet
Parent

Parent
No holiday is complete without going to museums and exhibitions!
Beer exhibitions?
Parent
That's also a winner!
Parent
I definitely recomend you a trip to the nearest red light district.

On a serious note, I think Netherlands is much prettier than Belgium, not to mention dutch people are generally smarter and more open than belgians but not smarter and cuter than ROMANIANS>

Anyone mad?
Museums can be fun.. just saying. :O
Wtf. You want to go shopping? Jeyses christ
