About Leidseplein

Leidseplein is a square in central Amsterdam, Netherlands. It lies in the Weteringschans neighbourhood, immediately northeast of the Singelgracht. It is one of the busiest centres for nightlife in the city. Historically, the square was the end of the road from Leiden; it served as a parking lot for horse-drawn traffic. Today, modern traffic travels through the square and side streets are packed with restaurants and nightclubs.
