Travelling within Europe?
Take the train!


Leiden University is working hard to reduce our environmental impact. Travelling more sustainably is key, since business trips are a major contributor to our CO emissions. For work trips, we take the train if the destination is within 500km or reachable in six hours.

This map helps you make greener travel choices. It tells you:


  • Travel time by train from Leiden;
  • CO emissions for your trip;
  • How a journey by plane compares.

  • P.S. Do you have questions or ideas related to this travel map or to sustainability at our university? We'd love to hear from you! duurzaamheid@leidenuniv.nl
