Guided Walking Tour Red Light District by Night

The Red Light District in Amsterdam: famous or infamous ? What is it about all those red-lit windows? And who work there? Your guide wil answer all those question during the walking tour. What’s more, your guide will take you to a coffee shop and tell more stories and anecdotes.

The Red Light District dates back to the thirteenth century. Sailors returning from long journeys or visiting Amsterdam as a port needed female company. Today, this district consists of a maze of alleys with small one-room studios. Prostitutes rent ‘a window’ and offer their services. When the curtains are closed, it means she is at work.

City Walk Red Light District by Night

Join the guided walking tour and discover the secrets of the red light district in Amsterdam.. You will walk along canals where red-illuminated windows, sex shops and peep shows are ubiquitous. You will see brothels, but you will also visit the Oude Kerk, the oldest building in Amsterdam. Taste free Dutch delicacies and visit the snack bar Febo to taste a real Dutch snack.

Night Walk

The walk starts at 8 p.m. An evening walk is more impressive and atmospheric than a walk during the day when daily routine is the order of the day: garbage trucks collect the refuge, the mailman walks his round and street sweepers clean up yesterday’s mess.

In the evening, the red light district is a sea of neon lights. The canals are illuminated, the rented windows are brightly lit and scantily-clad women sitting on a stool inside wink at male passers-by. Windows with closed curtains means business is in progress.

Coffee Shop

A stop at a coffee shop, Dutch type, is included. Your guide will tell you everything about weed and mind-enhancing substances.
