The Red Light District The most famous X-rated venue on the planet. Even the Pope is aware of what goes on at this place. Visitors to Amsterdam can often be categorized under the 'Triple H' theory.
Firstly, there's the HISTORY lovers who visit the museums. Then there's the green-fingered HORTICULTURISTS who pick and smell tulips, and finally you have the HORNY, and they go to The Red Light District.
Located in the area known as 'Wallen', it dates back to the 13th century, making it one of the oldest parts of the city. Prostitution has always been rife in the area, but it wasn't until the 18th century that the window ladies appeared. At that time, Amsterdam's port was extremely busy and when the boats docked, sailors would walk to the area seeking intoxication and the ladies of the night.
All kinds of music can be heard from the various pubs and coffee shops and some new and quite classy restaurants have added to the area's modernization. A string of canals bisect the main thoroughfares of the district, which are linked to several narrow alleyways. The area is quite busy during the day, and when darkness falls, the atmosphere becomes vibrant and a fun time is guaranteed. The district has just about everything a sex haven requires. Live sex shows, peep shows, sexual

theme bars, sex shops, pornographic video booths, fetish parlours, lap dancing clubs, a sex museum and of course the infamous girls behind the windows. Don't form a low opinion of us, but we have visited many of the venues in the area and have given our opinion on them. We have also taken on board the views of other visitors, and given some essential information on what you should and shouldn't do in the area.

Enjoy the delights of the district because who knows how long the lights will continue to shine. In the past few months, the area has been making the headlines as the Government implement a plan to clean up the District by taking away some of the adult-themed attractions and replacing them with boutiques and art galleries. Good or bad? Time will tell. Window Shopping The Red Light Ladies This is one form of window-shopping that never bores a man.
The majority of the Red Light Ladies are extremely beautiful and hail from all corners of the world. Choose from Oriental, Latin-American, European and coloured girls and enjoy oral sex and sexual intercourse for an average price of 50 Euro. Once you have entered, you will be there for about of 15 minutes and it won't be the most romantic rendez-vous you have ever experienced, but it certainly is different. If you wish to stay longer than the standard 15 minutes, you will most definitely have to pay more. All the hookers (hoertjes) are legal and most undergo regular health checks. They have even formed a kind of political party, which lobbies the Government when improvements are needed. When it comes to sex, The Red Light District is as liberal as it gets, but some rules must be adhered to and you should always be careful and behave well. Violent crime is almost non-existent although pick-pocketing can be quite common.
