Amsterdam
Worth visiting!
Leidseplein with its street musicians, actors, mediocre restaurants, bars, tourist info, trams, shops, etc., etc. is probably the most horrible place to visit frequently in Amsterdam. HOWEVER, it must be visited at least once, and as it lies close to a few major attractions – like the Van Gogh museum, the Rijksmuseum and the Vondel Park, it becomes a place you will involuntarily wander through…

I do, at least, and I live in Amsterdam!
It’s a ‘tourist trap’ only if you want to be trapped – otherwise, just enjoy creative humanity. And you forgot to mention the theatres, not just the Stadsschouwburg, but (just off the Leidseplein) there’s also Paradiso and the Melkweg.
