Visiting the Stadskantoor

• If your visit takes less than an hour, you can leave your bicycle in the outdoor parking facility next to the LEVEL building. You will find this parking place at the short side of the building, LUMC side. Also mopeds and scooters can be parked here. Take care you do NOT park your bicycle in the LUMC bicycle parking. Then walk to the main entrance (see map).
• If your visit is for more than an hour, leave your bicycle, moped or scooter in the bicycle parking beneath the LEVEL building (see map). Take the same stairs back outside and walk towards the Stadskantoor main entrance.

• Important: a bicycle parking policy is in force around the Stationsgebied (station area). Bicycles, mopeds and scooters that are not stored in the bicycle parking facility will be removed.

• Walk through Leiden Central Station to the exit on the LUMC side. You will need an OV chip card (public transport card) for this.
• When you leave the station, the LEVEL building is on your immediate left.
• Take the entrance on your left and walk straight ahead until you arrive at the Municipality of Leiden’s offices.

There are three walking routes from the centre.

Via the station

• Walk through the station to the exit on the LUMC side.
• When you leave the station, the LEVEL building is on your immediate left.
• Take the entrance on your left and walk straight ahead until you arrive at the Municipality of Leiden’s offices.

There are various options to get through the Leiden Central Station barriers.

• With an OV chip card (public transport card)

You can get through the barriers if there is sufficient balance on your card (€10 or €20 depending on whether you have a season ticket). If you check in and out within 60 minutes, there is no charge.

If there isn’t enough balance on your card you can load a free, one-off ‘passage product’ on your card at an NS ticket station. You can use this product to walk in and out of the station within 60 minutes on the day you added the product to the card.

• No OV chip card?

Please visit the NS website to see whether it is possible for you to request a ‘passage pass’ for residents. Whether that’s possible depends on how close you live to the station.
