Red Light District in Amsterdam: photos, reviews

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.

Le musée de la prostitution est un lieu incontournable d'Amsterdam, surtout si on est curieuse 😅 Le musée est petit, un peu étroit mais il est beaucoup visité. Ce musée permet d'apprendre pleins d'informations sur la prostitution, le quotidien des prostituées et la loi néerlandaise de la prostitution. On a un audio-guide pour comprendre la visite avec plusieurs récits de prostituées qui est parfois triste comme amusant. L'entrée est à presque 15 euros mais ça vaut le coup quand on est curieuse !

Spannendes Rot-Licht-Viertel in dem man sich sehr sicher fühlt. Auch für Frauen einfach zu besichtigen.

Must see museum for all adults! Freedom without Equality between Brothers is Jungle. Equality without Freedom is Prison. I want neither Jungle Or Prison.
