 Taxi's at the train station by rsilva
Cars are very modern and comfortable and drivers very professional (they all dress in suit and tie...).
I live less than 2 km away from the station and it takes about 3 minutes to get there by Taxi. The price? Never less than 7 Eur!
A ride to the Airport will cost about 50-60 Euros if you take a normal Taxi. If you consider taking one in any case (it is only a 15 minutes train ride and costs less than 5 Eur), some companies have a fixed price of 35-40 Eur.
For instance, Taxi de Groot (071 5123300) offers the "Schiphol Service", but I have never used it myself.
Leiden itself is quite compact and walking or cycling are definetly the best options Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 The main entrance to the train
station by rsilva
Since Leiden is located just between Amsterdam and Rotterdam (with The Hague in between), you can easily get here from anywhere in the Netherlands. Since it is a major station, all "sneltrein" (express) will stop here.
From Amsterdam or Rotterdam it takes about 30 min. to get here, The Hague is about 10-15 minutes away.
All this obviously comes at a price. Transportation is not cheap in the Netherlands and an Amsterdam-Leiden return ticket will set you back 13.70 Eur.
Check out http://www.ns.nl for schedules and pricing.
Just a quick tip: There are two exits from the trainstation. If you get out and see the "LUMC" hospital building on your left, you are going the wrong way, the center is the other way. There is very little to see on that side anyway. Leave a Comment

 Leiden Station Bicycle parking by rsilva
You will be surprised that most of the times the cars will stop for you and there are even many crossings where the cars have to yield to bikes...
They can be rented at the back of the Central train station (facing the large LUMC building) for 6.50 EUR/day plus a (refundable) deposit of 45 EUR. You need some kind of ID to rent. Leave a Comment

When you come out of the main entrance of Leiden Central Station, turn left and you'll find this place where you can buy or rent a bike or have it repaired or stalled. Leave a Comment Theme: Bicycle

 Leiden train station by Mique
From the train station it is a 5 minute walk to the city centre. And along that way, you'll pass the tourist information office so that is very convenient as well. Leave a Comment Theme: Train
