Red Light District, Amsterdam Overview
Amsterdam's red light district is the oldest part of the city and is wholly responsible for the notorious reputation of the city worldwide. Located just a short walk from Amsterdam Centraal Station, it lies near Oude Kerk (Old Church), Amsterdam's oldest building, and is bordered by canals, cobbled streets, and narrow alleys. It is renowned for its red-lit windows, where sex workers legally advertise their services. The area features numerous bars, coffee shops, and clubs, making it a lively destination for locals and tourists alike.
Drug use is abundant in the area, and so are prostitutes. The red light district sees a number of window shoppers, who despite not needing to buy anything, are simply attracted out of curiosity. However, the area also has a number of hip bars and restaurants, including strip clubs. Steps have been taken, however, to control these activities in the region, with an effort to reduce the number of prostitutes and restrict drug use. The infamous Red Light District of Amsterdam has been subject to many efforts by the legislators to shut it down, however, the place still thrives and attracts various tourists and interested customers to it's sex shops and bars.
