The Leidse Square, or Leidseplein as it is locally known, is one of Amsterdam’s primary entertainment plazas, located on the southern tip of the beautiful canal belt, conveniently situated close to the city’s premier park and the cultural quarter of Museum Square. Inundated day and night with hordes of visitors seeking a suitable establishment in which to quench their thirst, appetite, dancing desires or retail requirements, the Leidse Square is constantly animated throughout the seasons. We offer many Leidse Square apartments for those people who enjoy to be in the middle of this dynamic area!

This bustling plaza once marked the entrance to the road to Leiden, hence the name, utilised for many years as a parking space for the carts and carriages belonging to farmers and business travellers seeking admission to the city. In 1875, the Leidse Square became the starting point for the earliest horse drawn tram line, and just twenty five years later provided the initial locale for the first electric tram. The plaza has retained its status as a central transportation hub, offering a range of transport methods including buses, trams, taxis and bicycles to enable direct access to any desired destination.
