The Rembrandtplein (Rembrandt Square) is one of Amsterdam's most popular centres for nightlife and is known for its many cafés, terraces, clubs, and hotels. It mostly attracts rowdy Amsterdammers and out-of-towners.


The square, named after the famous painter Rembrandt van Rijn, used to be a butter market in former days. In the middle of the square is a statue of Rembrandt.


Throughout the year (except for the winter months), the terraces are packed with people enjoying a drink and watching the world go by.

Live music

In most cafes you' ll find live music and you' ll see people singing popular Dutch-language songs at the top of their voices.
