There is nothing in particular i want to recommend in Leidseplein , but this is a really nice area to hang out, other than some cool restaurants, bars, cafes to sit at, the main cool thing there is that almost all the time you get to see some crazy, great streets shows and all kind of weird stuff.

Just a great place in general.

When visiting Amsterdam, try to visit the western church one of the mornings, every morning they have a tour to the top of the chrch while climbing narrow laders viewing many amazing, huge bells. The tour is a guided tour of an hour or so and it is really nice, in addition the view from the top is an extra bonus.

The Anne Frank house, located at 263 Prinsengracht (although the entrance is at number 267), is a really interesting monument. The house is the place where Anne’s father, Otto’s,  businesses was and where they were hiding from the Nazi regime for  25 months (July 6, 1942 -September 3, 1944). It is very interesting to see the rooms and the hiding places where they have actually been.

Directions: Trams 13 and 17 from Central Station, get off at Westermarkt station.
