Naturalis Biodiversity Center

We recommend using public transportation to reach Naturalis: the museum is within walking distance from Leiden Central train station. Take the exit on the LUMC side. The walking route is clearly marked from the station. Additionally, there are buses available from Central Station. You can disembark right in front of the museum, at the Darwinweg/Naturalis bus stop. Parking at Naturalis is available for €7.50 per day (until 5:30 PM). Parking tickets are only obtainable at Naturalis (and are valid only for our parking lot). Hourly payment is not possible. However, parking spaces are limited, and we do not reserve parking spaces for business groups. Especially during school holidays, we advise using public transportation. If the parking lot is full, there are various options in the vicinity, such as Morspoort parking garage (10 minutes walk) and Ehrenfestweg parking garage (15 minutes walk). We also recommend the parking lot at Haagweg. We have four parking spaces for individuals with disabilities. Charging stations for electric cars are available for use.
