While taking the tram, I saw the statues in the distance without knowing about the area. I had to get off at the next stop to walk back to Rembrandt Square and I'm glad I did. Very neat statues showcasing respectable people. Worth the stop!

There is one bridge in Amsterdam’s central canal belt that gives a view of no less than 15 bridges. This unusual sight is found at the bridge crossing of the Reguliersgracht with the Herengracht, on the side with odd numbers. Standing on this bridge with your back to the Thorbeckeplein, you will see six arched bridges in a row. To the left you will find six more over the Herengracht and on the right you will see the next two. The 15th is the bridge you are standing on. It is particularly worth coming here at night as the bridges are illuminated giving one of the most beautiful and romantic views in Amsterdam.

The Rembrandt Monument is a monument that stands in tribute to Rembrandt van Rijn and located in Rembrandtplein where he used to have a house. Originally one a single statue of Rembrandt sat in the middle of the public square, it's now a sculptural ensemble of his most famous paint, The Night Watch. The ensemble is a 3D interpretation of the paint and was put together as part of Rembrandt's 400th birthday in 2006. This is an absolutely amazing monument and a must-see in Amsterdam.
