Choose a holiday apartment in Amsterdam Leidse PleinThere is a lot to do when you stay in an Amsterdam apartment, and time always falls short. This is particularly true of Leidse Plein, a bustling square towards the south of the central canal ring, which boasts of a number of restaurants and night clubs worth the name. But with a little pre-planning, you can get yourself a strategically located holiday apartment in Leidse Plein that allows you to get about the major attractions in this square and in fact, the town of Leiden at large, without much effort.The eastern border of the square is filled with a variety of street performers, ranging from musicians to acrobats, and dancers to clowns. The western border has terrace bars that welcome tired shoppers and relaxed holiday makers in the summer, while it turns into a skating rink, surrounded by stalls selling hot food in the winter. Both the square and the streets that shoot off from it come alive late at night with music, frivolity, drinking and general merry-making. A cultural night out to enjoy the cinema is only a hop away as the Stadsschouwburg theatre is located on the square directly opposite the tram stop. You can get yourself ready in the comfort of your holiday apartment and be at any of Leidse Plein's entertainment choices within a matter of minutes; now how convenient is that! Leidse Plein can be reached by trams numbered 1, 2 and 5 from Central Station, or trams numbered 1 and 7 from any other part of the city. The street leading from the centre of Leiden to Leidse Plein is called Leidsestraat, and offers an alternative walking route to get to the square. Public buses ply at night, catering to the large populace of locals and tourists that hits the town after dark, and taxis await passengers at the southern border. Besides the throbbing nightlife that Leidse Plein is famous for, other popular attractions are the Vondelpark for nature lovers, Spiegelgracht for antiques shoppers and the Museumplein for art and history enthusiasts. If you need information about any of these touristic attractions and their events schedule, or if you want to book tickets, you can visit the Uitburo situated on the square's eastern border. Choose an apartment in Leidse Plein and you are guaranteed to be where the action is, all through your holiday. |
