Full-funnel outdoor
Evening formats around Leidseplein pair with daytime sites elsewhere in Amsterdam to cover a campaign's full day, not one part of it.
Amsterdam's Nightlife Runs Through Leidseplein
Leidseplein began as the parking square for carts heading to Leiden and became Amsterdam's entertainment district almost by accident. Paradiso and Melkweg still draw crowds most nights, and the 1894 Stadsschouwburg theatre anchors one side of the square. For advertisers, that means an audience that gathers here specifically to spend an evening out, rather than people passing through on their way somewhere else.

Why the world'sbiggest brands chooseLeidseplein
Leidseplein draws a different crowd to a daytime shopping street: people who have already decided to spend their evening out. Paradiso and Melkweg between them host live music most nights of the week, and the terraces ringing the square stay busy well past midnight in summer. That evening dwell time, rather than a quick walk-through, gives LED facades and street formats here longer exposure per viewer than a comparable daytime site would offer. The square itself stays a nightlife hub, with terraces and theatre crowds keeping foot traffic dense into the night.

Dutch cities pack a dense, well-lit nightlife economy into a small footprint, and operators have responded by fitting more of their outdoor advertising across the Netherlands with digital screens built for evening dayparts rather than daytime traffic alone. That matters on a square like Leidseplein, where the audience is out specifically to be seen and to see what's around them. OOH Global books against those evening patterns directly, rather than treating every site as a daytime billboard with the lights left on.
A Global stagefor your brand
Booking media in Amsterdam usually means weighing a daytime location against an evening one, since the two audiences barely overlap. A Leidseplein placement covers the evening side of that split, giving a campaign a second, distinct exposure window alongside anything running in the city during the day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Pricing depends on the format and the daypart, since an LED facade booked for evening hours is priced differently to a daytime street format elsewhere in the city. Because the square's audience peaks in the evening, most campaigns here are booked around that window rather than a flat 24-hour rate. Send us your campaign details and we'll quote against current availability.
LED facades facing the square work well for brand-level creative aimed at the evening crowd heading to Paradiso, Melkweg or the terraces, while street-level formats along the approach streets suit closer, more detailed messaging. The right choice depends on whether the goal is broad evening visibility or a message read at close range. We can talk through both against your brief.
It's a mix of Amsterdam residents on a night out, concertgoers heading into Paradiso or Melkweg, and visitors staying nearby who treat the square as their evening base. Because people linger here rather than pass straight through, a facade or street format gets a longer look than the same creative would get on a daytime commuter route.
Facades and street formats around the square have limited slots, so most campaigns are booked several weeks ahead, and longer for peak periods such as summer or the run-up to major shows at Paradiso or Melkweg. Booking early also gives more time to fit production and installation around the venue and terrace schedules that keep the square busy.
Evening. Leidseplein is Amsterdam's nightlife square, with venues such as Paradiso and the Stadsschouwburg drawing people after dark rather than a daytime shopping street. Daytime still has footfall, but the square earns its premium when the theatres and bars fill. Tell us the window and we will match the format to the hours that matter.
Yes, short, event-linked bookings work well here because the square's evening crowd is already primed to notice something new, whether that's tied to a concert at Paradiso or Melkweg or a seasonal event on the square itself. We can plan a shorter slot around a specific date rather than committing to a longer standard block.
