Amsterdam Museum Square apartments
Located to the south of the old city centre, the Museum Square, or Museumplein as it is locally known, is the central cultural hub of the city. It is home to no less than four extremely popular galleries and museums, hence the name. Indeed Amsterdam boasts more than 60 museums and art galleries, more than any other city in the world. We offer a vast range of Museum Square apartments for your short stay in Amsterdam.
Museum Square is made up of two areas. The southern part is a large open grassy area where people regularly picnic and play football in the warmer months. At the northern end is a granite plaza incorporating a long fountain which is regularly transformed into an ice skating area at winter time. The whole site becomes packed with thousands of people at major celebratory events throughout the year including New Year’s Eve, the annual Queen’s Day celebrations (the birthday of the Queen Juliana, former Queen of the Netherlands), and whenever the Dutch football team is playing.
In 1999 urgently needed renovation work was carried out on the plaza including the addition of an underground parking area and supermarket. This most recent design was created by the architect Swen-Ingvar Andersson. Originally, the square dates back to the end of the 19th Century when it was the site of the Brouwersplein (Brewers’ Square). The name Museumplein later quickly came into common usage with the addition of several major galleries in the vicinity.
