The Amsterdam Red Light District

Amsterdam’s Red Light District is famous for the line of windows and doors surrounded in red lights – red lights that signify legal prostitution. You can walk down the street and see barely-dressed women sitting behind the windows and waiting for customers.
It is one of the most talked-about neighborhoods in the city, due to its housing of the world’s oldest profession.
While prostitution can be found all across the globe, it usually happens behind closed doors. But not in Amsterdam! In the Red Light area Known as “De Wallen” (pronounced Day Vaw-len) to the Dutch, you’ll find prostitutes offering their “services”, from behind a window.
Along with that, the area is known for its many live sex shows, sex shops, brothels, and strip clubs.
