Hotels near Rembrandtplein


General Info

Originally called “Botermarkt” since it housed a butter market, this famous square was named "Rembrandtplein" when, in 1876, after the placing of a bronze statue of the most famous Dutch painter. Rembrandt’s placid gaze embraces from the centre of the square the active life of this area, that rest neither by day, neither by night. The green areas that surround the square draw tourists that, during summer, relax themselves under the sun, while the typical Dutch cafés open their terraces where delightful drinks are served in the open air. When night comes this square, where the trendiest night clubs of Amsterdam are, becomes the meeting point both for tourist and locals seeking for fun. Clubs, discos, night clubs and sexy shops stand side by side with crowded restaurants and the traditional cafés.
Near the square stands the majestic Tuschinski Cinema (Reguliersbreestraat 26-28), built in 1921 in Art Deco, that houses in its fairy interior a magnificent café. Following the Reguliersbreestraat you will reach Mundelein, where the characteristic Floating Flower Market is held. From here you will be able to reach easily the most known shopping streets in Amsterdam: Rokin and Kalverstraat. Always in this area you will find the Begijnhof, a court surrounded by buildings that once housed women, called "béguine", devoted to celibacy.
