A red light district is a neighborhood or a part of a neighborhood where businesses connected to the sex industry
brothels to sex shops and sex museums to strip clubs.
The term “red-light district” was first recorded in the United States in 1894.
One of the most famous red light district is in Amsterdam.
The red light district has always been the center of erotic entertainment in Amsterdam.
The Amsterdam Red Light District is located just south (10 minutes walking) of Central Station, the main train station
and is very close to the Dam Square. It covers a large area of the oldest part of the city.
The canal Oude Zijds Voorburgwal seemed to be where Amsterdam red light district began.
Prostitution is legal in Holland, and in Amsterdam most of it is concentrated in the Red Light District
where it has enjoyed a long tradition of tolerance. Today, prostitutes in the Netherlands are also taxpayers. I stay in Holland for almost 3 years, I was living in Den Haag, that also have a lot of good red light districts. Den Haag Red Light District is self-contained parades, set apart. Each contains around 50 windows at the street level plus indoor galleries.
The best Den Haag Red Light Districts are: Poeldukesestraat with very low prices but not good looking girls, HOLLANDSE SPOOR - Stationsplein street, Doeblestraat with many South American black women and Geleenstraat similar to Amsterdams RLD ! But I was take the train often and visit Amsterdam because is nothing to compeer, Amsterdam red light Street have it all, peep shows, cabarets, bars and coffee shops, and is a lot more prostitutes from Den Haag.
It is very likely that you will have heard about this neighborhood as is it famous worldwide.
There are 100s of windows in every street and Behind the windows are women, for all kind of taste.
There were thin ones and fat ones, blonde ones Chinese and black ones.
And you can find all style of sex that you will ask for. All prostitutes making an effort to attract customers.
If you caught their eye, they would smile alluringly, I hade a lot of time coffee with them.
If you go there do not limit to window-shopping, there are numerous peep shows that may come with video booths.
And there are plenty of live sex shows that is must see, like Casa Rosso that consider to be the “best” sex show in town, and the infamous Moulin Rouge.
Although there is a lot of adult entertainment, it is much more then just a tourist attraction.
And don’t forget the Red Light District is not all porno shops and window girls.
There are several coffeeshops and bars contained within its boundaries.

Tip: don’t travel by yourself into the RLD, watch out for pickpockets, and stay away from the drug dealers.
Also there are lots of Junkies begging for money asking to show you where to go in exchange for money. Just ignore them.





I love window-shopping in Amsterdam Red Light District!
