Optimal location

Leiden Bio Science Park (LBSP) is strategically located between Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and The Hague. Schiphol Airport is just 15 to 20 minutes away, and the park borders the city centre of Leiden and Leiden Central Station. Multiple bus lines connect the park to the rest of the city and region, and plans are underway to establish a high-quality R-net connection between Leiden Central and Katwijk.

 

The park is also easily accessible by car. Since 2016, a grade-separated intersection on Plesmanlaan (OBSP) has provided fast and safe access from the city’s main western boulevard. The opening of the RijnlandRoute and the Leiden West junction has further improved regional connectivity, linking the LBSP directly to the A44, A4, and the coastal region. Within the park, there is a growing emphasis on sustainable mobility. The development of the Groene Hartlijn - a green, low-traffic route for cyclists and pedestrians - is enhancing safe and comfortable internal access.

 

A Park with Regional Significance

Covering approximately 110 hectares, Leiden Bio Science Park is one of the largest campuses in the Netherlands. Nearly half of the area consists of public space, offering room for greenery, social interaction, and relaxation.

 

With its elongated layout in a rapidly urbanising environment, the park plays an important role not only in the economy of Leiden but also in the spatial and visual identity of the region. It brings together high-quality businesses, diverse residential neighbourhoods, and valuable landscapes.

Located in a region with more than 400,000 inhabitants and increasing intermunicipal cooperation, the so-called Heart of Holland (Hart van Holland) is gaining importance within the Randstad as a dynamic and innovative part of the Netherlands.
