You Can Get Anything You Want Here | Red Light District Tour in Amsterdam

From prostitution to erotic shops, and museums to pot cafes, Amsterdam's Red Light District has it all. But contrary to what a lot of people might think, the Amsterdam Red Light District has a very friendly atmosphere and isn't as dangerous as it used to be.

Amsterdam has three different Red Light Districts but the most famous and the most attractive is the one located inside the city center.

Red Light District Safety
Contrary to popular belief, the Red Light District in Amsterdam, also known as De Wallen, is actually a safe area in Amsterdam as clusters of policemen, and private bodyguards employed by the girls themselves are always on duty.

When to go to Red Light District Amsterdam?
Well, if curiosity does get the better of you, come down at night when the district really comes to life. During the day, the district is less lively and even less attractive as the more sordid aspects reveal themselves in natural daylight. Although there are women forever tapping on the windows even during the light hours, most of the action takes place around 11pm , when the district is swarming with crowds and the red neon lights illuminate the inky canals. The atmosphere pretty much thrives until around 2am or 3am when the crowds die down and businesses shuts down.

I went for a walk during the day, as filming isn't allowed in many locations at night. It also gave me the chance to talk about Amsterdam's Red Light District history of De Wallen, which is just as fascinating as the place itself!
