The nightlife of Amsterdam is concentrated here, on the gleaming lights of the cheerful Leidseplein. A lot of clubs, theaters, cinemas, shops and art cafes - these are the main aborigines of this corner of Amsterdam. Until the morning, street actors, fakirs, magicians, musicians and other creative people of all stripes perform here in the open air.

Located in the south-west of the central region of Amsterdam, it is surrounded by the Singelgracht canal, the streets of Veteringnsans, Mariinstrat and Leidsestrat.
