Rembrandtsplein (Rembrandt's Plaza) is truly one of my favourite places to be in Amsterdam. This large square is full of cafes and bars. In 1876 the statue of Rembrandt was put in the center of the square, giving the name (formerly the square was known as The Botermarkt).
The tram has a stop right here, named, of course, Rembrandtsplein. You can choose one of the many outside tables to have lunch, dinner, or just a snack and a drink (beer of course).
I was there exactly in the day of the football match between Holland and Germany !! :) Oddly enough, the game ended 1-1 and the day after that my itinerary took me to Germany :)
Holland is very serious about its national football team. That day every bar was orange and orang(er) than the other, to attract more customers, football fans, to watch the game. There were every kind of wear in orange, from t-shirts to socks :) I was especially amused by a hat that looked like a football field, and it also had a ball :) Leave a Comment

The theater was built between 1918 and 1921
Opened on 28 october 192, designed by assignment of Abraham Tuschinski, a Polish immigrant. He wanted to go to the USA but stopped ihn the netherlands. Started 4 movietheaters in Rotterdam and then wanted to devellop Amsterdam. He hired architect Hijman Louis de Jong.
The facade is sort of Art Deco, and is decorated with glased tiles and ceramic sculptures. This facade was to advertise and lure people inside. but the inside was also very luxurious and absolutely state of the art for that time. The total costs of the project were around 4.000.000 dutch guilders ( 2 million euro), much money in that time.
From 1998-2002 the building was restored external and interior. Today the Tuschinski theater has 19 rooms and over 4000 seats. It is part of the Pathé Cinemas Leave a Comment

See the famous Rembrandt painting of the Night Watch - then see it in 3D at Rembrants plein
See all 22 characters in bronze & interact with the all singing, all dancing, all stabbing night brigade.
These statues were transported from Moscow to co-incide with 2006 celebration of Rembrandt year Leave a Comment

The Rembrandtplein seems the center and heart of Amsterdam. Around it are cafes, restaurants, hotels and some wonderful statues.. not to mention the ubiquitous trams. It's a short walk to the Dam or south to the Ledesplein area. Cross the Amstel and the other side of the river is home to more museums and sites of interest. Leave a Comment

This was the area we stayed in Amsterdam.
Our hotel was a short 3 minute walk away form this suare. A pretty square, with the foreboding statue of the artiste himself, Rembrandt.
As an artist myself, this was quite a special moment.
Throughout school, one learns all about the masters of art, architecture, sculpture etc... and so when you are in the area where the artist lived and painted, it is quite awe-inspiring.
The square has developed over the years into a centre for nightlife with the opening of various hotels and cafes.
We had firsthand experience of the nightclubs - not being into nightclubs ourselves - they kept us awake every night with really loud music. Especially this one gay club round the corner. It was maybe nice for them, but not for anyone trying to sleep within a half mile radius!
So, although a nice square, not a good place to sleep. Leave a Comment Address: Rembrandtplein area

Sometimes you just reach those days on a trip where you just want to zone out... but you feel guilty about staying in the hotel, because afterall, you are on vacation. Why not go to a movie? In particular, why not go to Pathé Tuchinski?
This is a beautiful movie theatre. You will find that, compared to North America, many of the movies are actually a couple of months behind. But! If "that movie you really meant to see" is playing in the Large Hall, it is worth getting tickets.
It is possible to buy a beer in movie theatres in the Netherlands. Popcorn comes in two flavors: salty or sweet. Make sure you specify... because the sweet popcorn tastes really strange if you expected salty. Leave a Comment

By this time it was already well into the afternoon. We stopped in a little pub on the corner of Halvemaanstraat and Rembrandtplein.
The locals seemed to enjoy the loud music.
For us an opportunity to have a beer and to write postcards to absent VT friends. Leave a Comment

If you like Art Deco, then this is the place to go. Tuschinski had fled Poland and wanted to emigrate to the US but halfway stayed in The Netherlands.
At first he opened four cinema's in Rotterdam and then planned to build a cinematographic palace in the capital. The architect Hijman Louis de Jong designed what was called a mondial theatre palace.
Tuschinski opened its doors in October 1921.
In the period 1998-2002 it has been completely renovated and, including modern annexes, includes 19 cinema theatres with a total of 4000 seats. Leave a Comment Address: Regulierbreestraat

This is quite a bad shot of Rembrandtplein. It is surrounded by restaurants and pubs and in the middle is a nice green park. In summer the whole pavements are full with tables and chairs.
I prefer it above Leidseplein.
In my restaurant tips I mention Indonesian restaurant Indrapura which is on Rembrandtplein.
If you ever need to have a meeting point on Rembrandt plein, then Three Sisters is a nice pub/restaurant to make an appointment. Leave a Comment Address: Rembrandtplein

The Rembrandtplein is a square in the innerpart of Amsterdam which once was named Botermakrt (Butter market). It got the name of Rembrandtplein after the square was honoured with a statue of Rembrandt Van Rijn, Dutch world-famous painter, created by Louis Royer in 1852. This statue was placed right in the middle of the square where for now you can see some more statues ...
These are the specially created statues of the world-famous painting The Night Watch by Rembrandt. Because this very day of July 15th, 2006, it is 400 years ago Rembrandt was born in Amsterdam. So it is obvious Amsterdam and Holland celebrate this day and the whole year of 2006 there will be events created for Rembrandt Van Rijn ... and around the Rembrandtplein which got the best clubs in the area to spend your night! Donot miss them >>>
