 Leidseplein by H-TownJourneyman

My hotel was right by the Leidseplein so I spent time here every day. When I think back to Amsterdam, I think of the Leidseplein. It's a great spot with restaurants, bars, outdoor cafes, coffeeshops, outdoor performers and great people watching. Can't wait to be there again.
UPDATE: Most photos for this tip are from my Sept 06 trip. Leave a Comment

What was once a place of laughter became a place of tradegy, this used to be a central theatre in 1892. The Nazi's however turned this theatre into a detention centre for those Jews awaiting deportation, some 60,000 - 80,000 Jews passed through here on their way to Westerbork transit camp & from there to death camps.
After the war it was felt strongly that they could not reopen as a theatre so the site was demolished except for the facade, a hollow shell of the lobby. Today it is a memorial to those Jews & in the courtyard people can leave tulips & a message of peace & hope. An inscription in Dutch & Hebrew translates "Watch me like you watch the iris of your eye, and hide me under your wings from the evil people lurking around me"
Upstairs is a small exhibition in Dutch but there is an English guide at the recption, this display shows children who were hidden & some of their letters they wrote.

 Neon! by TrekknHil
American food available as well, nothing like a Burger King to ruin a perfectly good Amsterdam street.
If you are look for fun outside of Dam Square, this is where you will find it. Leave a Comment

 The Bulldog by BorneoGrrl
Dam Square is pretty busy too but in Leidseplein, you don't get that in-you-face red light windows or hemp & bong stores. There are plenty of brown cafes, coffeshops, pancake houses and restaurants to fit your fancy or you can catch a movie at the City cineplex. It's pretty harmless to bring your kids as well Directions: Tram 2 or 5 from Central Station
