Amsterdam Red Light District Tour
Tour Details
At the designated time, we'll meet at Beursplein 1 as the city's iconic red lights begin to flicker on, setting the perfect atmosphere for an evening of discovery.
Our knowledgeable guide will take you through the story of this legendary district, from the origins of sex work in Amsterdam and the city's famously tolerant approach to prostitution, to coffee shops and recent controversies, as well as the complex debates shaping the neighborhood today. Along the way, we'll also explore the story of "Belle," a significant figure whose message brought about a profound shift in the way the city thinks and lives.
We'll wander through some of Amsterdam's most vibrant streets, in the immediate surroundings of the Red Light District, which are lined with iconic coffee shops and bars where the consumption of marijuana and hashish is legal. Our guide will share practical tips on what to expect, what to order, and what to keep in mind if you'd like to continue exploring after the tour.
At the end of the 1.5-hour tour, you'll receive a map with useful information to help you explore the final stretch of the Red Light District on your own, plus a small gift that's guaranteed to raise a smile.
Additional Info
Please note that guided tours within the Red Light District have been prohibited since 2020. Your guide will therefore bring you to key points on the outskirts of the district, always in full compliance with current regulations and with respect for the people who live and work there.
