Rembrandtplein is one of the busiest squares in the city, at least when it comes to nightlife and clubbing. Originally a butter and dairy market, Rembrandtplein has long left its farm friendly origins behind and these days you are far more likely to find yourself enjoying a latte on the terrace of a café than buying milk from a farmer.
Of course, Rembrandtplein is named after the famous Dutch master painter, Rembrandt van Rijn, creator of works such as the Night Watch, and in the middle of the square you can find a large statue of the man, gazing down on the late night revellers with a rather thoughtful expression. Other attractions nearby include the Pathé Tuschinski, a modern cinema housed in a classic building that has been a theatre since 1921 and the largest interactive video screen in Europe that dominates one side of the square and can be interacted with using Bluetooth mobile phones. The main attraction for Rembrandtplein, however, is the nightlife happening in the many clubs, cafés and bars but even if you're not spending the night in one of the many Rembrandtplein clubs, you may find yourself visiting the square as many night bus lines leave from here.
