About

"De Wallen" is the oldest district of Amsterdam, which until a few years ago was home to a port where sailors would often stop after long voyages, influencing the development of quite specific services.

Most commonly, this area is referred to as the "Red Light District" - the place in the Netherlands where prostitution is legal. It gained its more popular name precisely because of the color of the lights illuminating the windows where women offer their services. The task of each woman is to attract clients, making the district appealing not only to patrons of brothels but also to tourists! Nowadays, in addition to the sex workers, the district also features a large number of sex shops, bars, and cafes.
