Kick off your journey from the tram B sign located right in front of Amsterdam’s Central Station and begin your exploration towards the ‘Red Light District’. The initial leg of the tour will take you around the ancient sailor locality known as Zeedijk Street and the renowned Chinatown of Amsterdam. Once considered unsafe, this segment of the Red Light District has completely transformed into a welcoming and safe segment of the town.

Next, make your way to the Old Church, the city’s oldest edifice situated in the heart of the Red Light District. As you traverse this area, you’ll encounter unique sites such as Amsterdam’s narrowest avenue, the pioneer coffeeshop, an enclosed prostitute street, and a variety of smartshops. Traverse the renowned prostitute lanes showcasing red lights and gain insights into the history and present scenario of the Red Light District.

A must do! - Our guide Stan made this an excellent experience. We really recommend doing the tour with him since he is a great guide! He showed us many sights and streets we would never found by ourselves. Highly recommended!

Do it yourself! Save your money! - This “tour” is fraudulent. We were told by our guide that it really wasn’t legal to tour the district. It was a lot of talking about nothing. We could have easily done it ourselves…with Google Maps and a good guide book. Save yourself the money!
