Rijn (Rhine), South Holland Province, The Netherlands
4.5 (187 reviews) Spent Ranking #6 in Leiden Bodies of Water
Walk the Leidse Loper (loop) and see how beautiful it is
There is no doubt Leiden on the Rhine (old and new) is a pretty town. Easily walkable as it is not very big. If you go to Visitor Centre next to Centraal Station you can pick up a map and follow a loop self guided walking trail that takes in the Rhine, some lovely windmills, Rembrandt's birthplace and the old wealthy district of Rapenburg. Well worth a few hours and the sign boards along the way have English and Dutch to explain what you are seeing.

Charming!
Leiden is a charming little town. And Rijn is the very soul of the place. I was lucky to visit on Saturday and see the bustling open market on both sides of Rhine for myself. I would also recommend taking the hour long boat ride. It costs 10 Euros per adult with a headphone and commentary in various languages, and completely orients you to the city. It is a good starting point following which one can explore the place at one's own pace.

Market on Saturday recommended!
As a local I can give you lots of tips. The first one it that the market on Saturday (from 08.00-15.00 pm) is really worth it. The market boasts a huge diversity on cheap food, flowers, drinks and other articles. It is a very big market stretched all over the Rhine on but sides.
