By many considered the best Amsterdam city square. At just a fifteen minutes walk from Central Station. In the middle of the square is the Waag, a medieval building, which now houses a cafe-restaurant. Around the square you will find cafes and restaurants. Even the legendary Cotton Club is located there. Previously, the Cotton Club was a meetingplace for (first) Africans and (later) Surinamese. If a ray of sunshine breaks through the terraces on the square are immediately filled.
