Leidens Ontzet is a unique blend of history, tradition and celebration.
On 3 October, Leiden celebrates the liberation of the city in 1574 from early morning until late at night. Young and old commemorate and celebrate the importance of freedom with traditions, music, parades and festive activities throughout the city. A day full of history and conviviality.
During Leidens Ontzet, traditions are a must! Like the classic stamppot with klapstuk. Would you like to enjoy this traditional dish? Please mention it in the comments section of your reservation and we will have it ready for you.
After a day of celebrations, traditions and fun in the city, it's wonderful to return to the comfort of one of our rooms or suites.
