Red Light District
Amsterdam's Red Light District is worth
a look, especially if it's your first visit to Amsterdam — it's
definitely something you don't see every day back home!
One misconception is that visitors
expect to see "girls in the windows" wherever they walk
along
the canals.
Actually,
the girls in the windows can be found mainly in
the alleys — but which alleys? You'll have
to wander around the area and find out for yourself. Or take a
Guided
Walking Tour of the Red Light District.
According to co-host Matt Lauer during
one of the "Today Show" visits to Amsterdam... "the
windows — they are doors actually — are always bordered
by dark, polished wood, with polished brass doorknobs. And the girls
stand there, and tap on the glass, like YOU are the one in the pet
store, to get your attention."

Red Light District Guided Walking Tour
Take a walk on the wild side with a Guided Walking
Tour through Dark Amsterdam, the infamous Red Light District. Accompanied
by a friendly and knowledgeable local, you'll tour the area in safety
for an enlightening and illuminating experience! The tour takes you to the area that's synonymous
with Amsterdam, the Wallen (Red Light District), passing monuments
and
entering narrow old streets such as the well-known Zeedijk street.
In the past it was one of the most dangerous streets in Amsterdam,
where sailors could be found searching for local amusement. Nowadays,
instead of the shady bars of yester-year you'll find lively and
welcoming Dutch pubs and restaurants.
The walk includes a visit to the Prostitute Information
Center, where you will be offered a free drink and can chat with
a former prostitute who will explain the system and answer any questions
you might have.
Your safety is guaranteed during this excursion
into Amsterdam's darker side, as a reliable and trustworthy guide
will be accompanying you.
