I like your song Broken Man. As far as I can recall, the intro to this video is the 2nd time that Gabe has used your song with the first time being a few months ago in Greece. I also like your song Take Over Me.
@@heidigretel Yes, exactly, I used it in a video about the island of Samos, Greece. Also he's sent me some more of his songs, so perhaps they will be in future videos. Good stuff.
It is very impressive how deeply you have mastered the art of photography, and how experienced you have become in showing street scenes in a way that puts the RUclips audience in the center of things. Your vlogs are a delight.
I am so thrilled to run across this video. My great grandfather is the Rev. John Robinson who is memorialized on the many plaques you showed on Pieterskerk (St. Peter's Church) where he is buried. He is considered to be the Pastor to the Pilgrims. He is memorialized in a painting that hangs in the Capitol Rotunda in Washington. The painting depicts him and the Pilgrims on the ship ready to depart for America in 1620. Unfortunately he died in Holland in1625 and never lived to see America but his widow and son came in 1629. I visited Leiden and his grave inside the church. Again Thanks. I loved the city where he was also a University Professor. I also found local people who clearly remember the story of him.
Leiden is a lovely place to stay and a smaller, quieter alternative to Amsterdam. Lots to see and do and the fruit and veg stalls in the market on a Saturday are amazing!
I am a German who has been living in the US for six years . Thankfully I will l be moving to Leiden in May this year. I can't wait to return to Europe for good. And Leiden is so beautiful! Thank you for this very well done video! I have enjoyed every minute of it!!!
Thanks for taking me on so many excellent journeys! I loved this Rembrandt movie! As you continually travel alone, do you get "the blues" at all? I admire your spirit!
In the summer more people are eating and drinking outside but Leiden attracts very few visitors. It is never very busy. In July the sun sets at approximately 22:00, that gives a very different vibe.
I was in Leiden in June, I loved the poem by Adonis in one of the walls celebrating 400 years of Arabic studies at the university of Leiden. Pablo Neruda is up there too. The botanical garden were cool too.
Great showcase of what historic Dutch inner cities have to offer! Thanks! Even though im from the Netherlands and been to Leiden noumerous times, still very enjoyable with the whole christmas thing going on.
Thank you for visiting the city I grew up in. Never expected that to happen. I'd suggest you to visit some of the other museums Leiden has to offer, like: De Lakenhal, Volkenkunde, Van Oudheden, Boerhaave. Leiden has a rich historical past. Thank you Gabriel!
Very nice video. I'm a Brit living in NL, and Leiden is one of my favourite Dutch cities. I prefer it to Amsterdam. More history than you can shake a stick at within a single square mile. And just as nice in winter.
it is interesting to see the cold weather there and not to have to feel it. I once visited the " museum van oudheden" There was an excellent Egyptian exhibition with the theme of mummies . All that lovely confectionary at the Christmas market and the architectural Dutch buildings .
Haha, I see my self at about 3:35 min, helping to get a lady aboard on one of the touring boats of ‘Bootjes & Broodjes’. I advice travelers to hop on board and see our beautiful city from a canal view.
I like the fire and the pastries. Those two together.... :-) The buildings are beautiful! I had no idea! And the fog makes it quaint. The brat looks good. I like Leiden a lot!
Western part of South Holland proper (Rotterdam, The Hague, Leiden) is spectacular for cycle tours. If you choose your routes carefully you can have very five or six very varied land- and cityscapes in a tour of fifty or seventy kilometers.
I was showing my parents the city that same day! Pity you missed the Burgt (an old fortress one street over from the Christmas market ) but thank you for showing Leiden so Nicely.
Another one of those great extended intros of yours, really dig that. You've put the Netherlands more on my radar than it was before (along with many other countries), and I think the winter vibe is helping too, I find it really appealing.
Thank you Gabriel for all your journeys. For sure, you're an intl' citizen! Happy Christmas to you and Season Greetings from my homeland, the beautiful city of Trikala, Greece.
Hu Gabriel, The trip to the Netherlands was a really quick and seem like a lot of fun. The summers have to be very different there much easier to walk around but it didn't seem to chilly.
Tour guides around the world, totally free. Just sign up online and someone will reply. I’ve used them and have always had an amazing visit and learned so much !
A video that is really interesting- this is exceptional even by your high standards. I went to Amsterdam on Tuesday 18 Dec for a day trip and the weather was not as bad as you had here- there certainly was no snow on the ground.
I wouldn't get very far, too much to photograph, I may need to swing though here on my next trip to Europe. I got my feet up on the desk and a cup of green tea watching this on my laptop.
Brrr yet beautiful! I love the old buildings. Gabriel if you could slow down when you are panning the camera around an area would be my only wish in future vids ;-)
Dear Gabriel, thank you for your videos from the Netherlands (Amsterdam and Leiden).. They are very beautiful. I lived and worked in the Netherlands for 8 1/2 years in Hilversum and Amsterdam. I like the dutch people very much, they are different to the germans, they have another livestyle, open and free. I am happy, that my son is studying there - in Maastricht. Next time when you go to NL visit Maastricht, which is a nice small city in Limburg with a lot of international students and a beautiful surrroundings. Brussels and Antwerp are not far away. Aachen in Germany are close as well. Happy Christmas, a happy NEW YEAR with exciting tours next years, love Ulrike Grefe
Hello Gabriel, I notice you frames jumps . I have the same problem if you call it a problem. I notice it more often in low light . Grate video thanks for bring us along . saludos

A blessed good day sir Gabriel what.a.nice. Incredible city of Leiden Netherlands and amazing history of Rembrandts very beautiful stunning structures iconic buildings and nice quiet streest and local people highly recommended for holiday vacation for the whole family thank u sir Gabe for you nice excellent walk around video keep safe Godbless u from your solid fan viewer from the Philippines sir vhin 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙂🙂🙂🙂❤️👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👏
This is so beautiful. Lovely caroling and festivities. Merry Christmas. I would guess that country you've been to before a long time ago is America for you might be jetting to go home to your mothers?
Great videos Gabriel i went the netherlands and uk last june went to amsterdam great city .in the uk went to London and Liverpool and i found Liverpool to be one of the best cities ive been to ? I got tipped off by a friend to Visit if i made it to the Uk .
Nice to see my town from the eyes (or camera) of a traveller :) But you definitely missed some hotspots. ;) Next time you visit, come in spring or summer and make sure you go to the Hortus and Sterrenwacht and check out the Burcht and Hooglandse kerk too. Nice video bro, thanks! :)
Very nice Christmas spirit there in the Netherlands. But if you want Christmas in a very traditional way (with a lot of German traditional Christmas stuff, like pyramids, cribs, nutckrackers, angels, gingerbread, punch etc.), I recommend visiting Nuremberg Christkindlesmarkt and German Christmas Museum (along with Christmas village in the Käthe Wohlfahrt Christmas shop) in amazing medieval Rothenburg ob der Tauber, the most beautiful town on the German Romantic Road. These locations are not far away from the Netherlands. French Alsace (historically more German felt area) is also very beautiful in Christmas time, especially in fairytale towns like Colmar, Riquewihr and Eguisheim, although the biggest Christmas market there is this year's tragic Christkindelsmärik in Strasbourg which is proclaimed as the capital of Christmas. Some specialists for Christmas markets also recommend Stuttgart Christmas market, along with Esslingen am Neckar.
Thanks Gabriel. Amazing editing, and fantastic video!!! Can’t wait to see more

@Kids Best Fun Channel Hi, I edit with Videopad video editor.
Dutch architecture is so pleasing. I think winter brings out real beauty in it

Far more wholesome than Amsterdam, fun market, parents and kids, great architecture and history. Thanks for the video.
The Netherlands seems to be a very happy country!

I imagine this place summer time is very busy and beautiful Thank you for video
i agree it looked kinda busy now imagine in july

Yes, in the summer for sure lol. I'm a bit older and the cold weather just makes me achy..
It is so interesting to view these cities and towns through your eyes. Thank you!
I was in Leiden in June, I loved the poem by Adonis in one of the walls celebrating 400 years of Arabic studies at the university of Leiden. Pablo Neruda is up there too. The botanical garden were cool too.
THE REAL TRAVELLER want to capture almost everthing, whatever WHETHER it is.. ONLY FOR US 😮 .once again a big thanks..👍☺
Great showcase of what historic Dutch inner cities have to offer! Thanks! Even though im from the Netherlands and been to Leiden noumerous times, still very enjoyable with the whole christmas thing going on.
Nice weather😍
I love seeing the Dutch cycle in all weathers, amazing.

Just got back from a short trip to Leiden, I was inspired to go by Gabriel's video. It is an amazing city to walk around.
Very cool.
Very nice video. I'm a Brit living in NL, and Leiden is one of my favourite Dutch cities. I prefer it to Amsterdam. More history than you can shake a stick at within a single square mile. And just as nice in winter.
Wow , more to the Netherlands than I knew ,a great watch.
A great video as usual. really captures the spirit of the area..love the interactive display at 13.10.
Just beautiful! Thanks so much for all you do!

Thanks Gabriel putting more of the Netherlands on my Christmas list
Leiden is a beautiful city. Great winter footage there. Love the snow shots in Utrecht.
Did you ever ask what the hanging clothes meant? Looks like a nice place to visit. So nice with lots of people outside enjoying winter.
Thanks for showing this amazing city
Definitely a place to visit on my cycle tours next year thanks!
Western part of South Holland proper (Rotterdam, The Hague, Leiden) is spectacular for cycle tours. If you choose your routes carefully you can have very five or six very varied land- and cityscapes in a tour of fifty or seventy kilometers.
This place looks fabulous
Gabriel, tremendous really. And thanks more than I can say for your captivating videos. Good job.
I was showing my parents the city that same day! Pity you missed the Burgt (an old fortress one street over from the Christmas market ) but thank you for showing Leiden so Nicely.
You are right Gabriel! It is beautiful 😊❤ thanks for the update on your friend! Safe trip! See you in the next video 😊🎄🎁❄☃️🍻

Excellent.
Very attractive town and quite festive too.
Wow 😆 beautiful place 😆

The Dutch are a very cool nation

I love watching your videos... Informative! This way I'm educating myself for my future travel.Thanks
Hu Gabriel, The trip to the Netherlands was a really quick and seem like a lot of fun. The summers have to be very different there much easier to walk around but it didn't seem to chilly.
I think I'm on a role playing video game when I watch this vid. Very nice and beautiful.

That rembrandt video was quite neat!
Leiden a historical city, want to see it in the future. Well presented and crafted video.
Amazing city
This is a very nice unique town, great video I like those people.
Great Video of Leiden, looks a cool and wonderful place to visit, stay safe Gabriel and happy travels!

Leiden looked cool.. Netherlands is a beautiful country
Amazing Gabriel, 255,000 subscribers. congrats man.
Awesome job of capturing the every day's life feeling as usual. Curious what country you will go to next :)

Wow what an interesting media presentation...love it..
Yes, the movie about Rembrandt was really well done.

I wouldn't get very far, too much to photograph, I may need to swing though here on my next trip to Europe.
I got my feet up on the desk and a cup of green tea watching this on my laptop.
Very beautiful 😍👍
You have to go to Panama. It's nice and warm there😬🌨❄☃️
Yeah Panama looks amazing.
Amazing video Gabriel 😊
Looks cold! But I luv the cobblestone streets
Brrr yet beautiful! I love the old buildings.
Gabriel if you could slow down when you are panning the camera around an area would be my only wish in future vids ;-)
Another great video. Loved it.
Great culture great country 🙏 great civilization 🙏🌹
Really enjoyed this - Leiden looks lovely! Also, great choices for the music you used!
The movie was amazing. A lot of effort must have been put into making it. Fantastic video as usual.
Thanks. Yes this one took a while.
Dear Gabriel, thank you for your videos from the Netherlands (Amsterdam and Leiden).. They are very beautiful. I lived and worked in the Netherlands for 8 1/2 years in Hilversum and Amsterdam. I like the dutch
people very much, they are different to the germans, they have another livestyle, open and free.
I am happy, that my son is studying there - in Maastricht.
Next time when you go to NL visit Maastricht, which is a nice small city in Limburg with a lot of international
students and a beautiful surrroundings. Brussels and Antwerp are not far away. Aachen in Germany are close as well.
Happy Christmas, a happy NEW YEAR with exciting tours next years, love Ulrike Grefe
Glad you enjoyed the video. I visited Maastricht once years ago, nice city.
Wonderful music and editing.
Good Paint of Leyden Gabriel. You was near Spinoza house ( the philosopher of century 17). Thanks from Buenos Aires
Hello Gabriel, I notice you frames jumps . I have the same problem if you call it a problem. I notice it more often in low light . Grate video thanks for bring us along . saludos

Thanks.
Awesome vid Gabe 👍🏻 might visit Leiden next week , we’ll see where I end up 😁✌🏼
Can you do a tour of the other University in Groningen? I was considering a visit there. Thanks for all you do.
Christmas in Europe is spectacular.
Have you noticed that most Dutch women are in shape and quite attractive?
and what is "in shape" supposed to mean? 👿

There are a lot of hot meisjes in the netherlands.💕

Welcome to my hometown
Have you ever used Global Greeters on any of your adventures?
Nope, never heard of it.
Has something changed with copy righted music on u tube?
Tx for the video gabe, greetings from haarlem, a town you are familiar with.
Im a big fan you should visit haarlem and alkmaar one day if your are in holland
Very nice Christmas spirit there in the Netherlands. But if you want Christmas in a very traditional way (with a lot of German traditional Christmas stuff, like pyramids, cribs, nutckrackers, angels, gingerbread, punch etc.), I recommend visiting Nuremberg Christkindlesmarkt and German Christmas Museum (along with Christmas village in the Käthe Wohlfahrt Christmas shop) in amazing medieval Rothenburg ob der Tauber, the most beautiful town on the German Romantic Road.

Yes i want to go Alsace sounds super
Great vid. Too bad we didn't get to see De Burcht (stronghold)
