🚤 “Sailing Through Time — The Galgewater Canal of Leiden”

#hellohalloween The Galgewater Canal in Leiden, Netherlands, is a peaceful and beautiful area where history flows gently with the water. Once a busy harbor for trading ships, today it’s a favorite spot for boat rides and canal tours that reveal the city’s old-world charm. Along the canal, you’ll see historic brick houses, arched bridges, and the famous Molen de Put windmill, all reflected perfectly in the calm water. Small boats glide slowly under willow trees, creating a relaxing and romantic scene. Locals and visitors often sit by the canal cafés, enjoying coffee while watching the boats pass by. At night, the lights from the buildings shimmer on the surface, making it feel like a fairytale painting come alive. Whether you explore by foot or by boat, the Galgewater area captures the heart of Leiden — a place where the past and present meet through its graceful canals and timeless Dutch beauty.
