Description
This exclusive tour takes you on a journey through the culture, history and vibrant stories of Amsterdam's infamous Red Light District. Discover the political context of the district, how sex workers earn a living, what they make, and how the system operates.
Walk through Amsterdam’s narrowest alley and hear why it was once the hottest spot in the Red Light District. Explore the socio-political history of coffeeshops and gain a critical perspective on sex work in the area.
Enjoy a small-group experience of up to 4 participants, allowing your guide to take you through the heart of the district and show you various establishments, including the famous red-light windows.
Embark on this unique tour as new tourist regulations now restrict larger groups from walking directly through the district. This ensures the most authentic experience, letting you see the district as it really is.
Visit an iconic 1970s peep show (one of the last live peep shows in the world) to round off your tour with a first-hand experience of what the district has to offer.
- This tour is conducted in German, English, Italian, Spanish or French – it is not bilingual. Please ensure you select the correct language option when booking.
- This tour does not include an indoor visit to a coffeeshop.
- On Fridays and Saturdays, the Red Light District is very busy. For a quieter experience, we recommend taking the tour on another day.
- The tour takes place in all weather conditions. Please bring an umbrella in case of rain.
- The walking distance is approximately 1.8 km (1.2 miles) at a comfortable pace.
- Photography of sex workers is strictly prohibited.
- Participants aged 16–18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Participants under 16 may only join a private tour, which can be adjusted according to their age.
