Rembrandtplein

Rembrandt van Rijn owned a house nearby from 1639 to 1656. There were early markets & the Butter Market was here. In the early twentieth century, this square became a center of nightlife drawing artists, young people & laborers. Hotels, cafés & entertainment venues opened around the square. Rembrandt's statue is in the middle of the square.

This is another nice stop on your walking tour of central Amsterdam. It's a 15-minute walk from the Central Station and a scenic one at that walking by the canals for part of it. There are plenty of cafes, restaurants and a statue of Rembrandt, and some cool paintings. It was packed when I was there and very touristy but that's fine, I was "touristing".

Crappy restaurants and very touristy looking and catering. The choices here are bad to worse. We only ate nearby as it was late and we were super hungry. People were actually outside hawking their restaurant;that is low class. Unfortunately, Amsterdam food is not very good as it appears the locals only lke junk food and alcohol/beer. Eat a good breakfast or lunch and don't bother with dinner.

Awesome spot.

1) There are tons of attractions here: from coffee shops to bar/clubs.
2) The Square has statues which which are photo attractions for tourists.
3) Also, they have oliebol stands around, give those a try. They are especially there during Xmas.

Rembrandtplein contains the sculpture of Rembrandt's Night Watch painting - and it's worth a visit if you're in Amsterdam! Make sure to take the obligatory picture of yourself in the sculpture!

Somehow I always find my way to Rembrandtplein. It doesn't hurt that my husband works right by the square some days and we'll meet up there. And that it's super central to many places I frequent.

It's a great place to people watch, listen to some random person or group play music, and have a picnic lunch. Plenty of restaurants with patio seating near by and some with mighty tempting drink and food specials. Only a quick walk to the Herengracht canal if you want a canal view. But it's so much fun watch tourists take their photos, take out their maps and just enjoy the sunshine when available. There are also real seats available for those who need them. And of course many trams are available for you to get to other parts of the city.

In December, you'll find an international Christmas Market that is beautiful! Such a festive place to go over the holidays. Just be aware that all the food stalls are quite pricey! But it's worth walking through anyway.

It does get crowded, but that's all part of the fun. Maybe it's your new spot in the city!

This is a fun square. We took the pictures everyone takes here- selfies with the Nightwatch, of course! It's a fun place for kids. I spent about 40 minutes waiting for a friend here- managed to score a seat on a bench. It's a great place to people watch, and it's fun to watch people posing. There are several bars and restaurants surrounding the square- and a cannabis place too! So you can pretty much enjoy yourself any way you like. Lots of people nap or picnic in the park- and one enterprising couple brought their own table and chairs and had champagne in the middle of the grass.

Just across the street from NH Caransa is Rembrandtplein. It's a small park in the city of Amsterdam which is also called Rembrandt Square. It's right in the center of nightlife.
Bars, pubs, grand cafes, restaurants, and hotels surround this square.
In the middle of the square, there's a statue of Rembrandt which is a great place to take pictures.
I didn't know Rembrandt was gay until I arrived in Amsterdam, so you know what that means? It's also close to the gay clubs.
Now I'm not really into the bar scene, but like a helpful tip, the square borders Reguliersdwarsstraat, which is a popular gay street in Amsterdam.
My friends and I spent a great deal of time around Rembrandtplein eating in some of the food places here.
You can also pick up wi-fi at some of the establishments around the area providing you purchase something. I recommend Bruincafé T Centrum Cafe that is right across from the park. They have tons of outside seating, and they have great breakfasts too!
Now if you are on a budget, you can buy food at Albert Heijin and sit in the park. Just watch out for the pigeons!

Here in the latter half of November 2019 and they had an ice skating rink, Glüwien booth, and Spanish Churro booth, a bratwurst booth and some fried donuts booth. And of course all the other establishments to eat and drink at. Very lively square. Also where the first Starbucks Laboratory in Europe () lol.

This is a great little outdoor plaza complete with statues, wonderful seating areas and a ton of shops/restaurants. This place is literally located right in the heart of Amsterdam and provides you with a fantastic ambiance and the ability to just chill, sit back and relax. I would classify this place as a must see during your stay or visit in Amsterdam.
