When we think of the capital of the Netherlands, several images immediately come to mind: canals, coffee shops and the famous Red Light District. This district linked to prostitution has a very sulphurous image... But what is it really? Let's take stock.
Should you visit the Red Light District when you go to truemoney data Amsterdam? A neighborhood still closely linked to prostitution
It is important to start by saying things clearly: this is not a legend! The Red Light District, or De Wallen in Dutch in Amsterdam , is still a district where prostitution is rife.
In the Red Light District, there are indeed dozens of naked women behind illuminated shop windows. Since prostitution is legal in the Netherlands, these women are there to sell sexual services to passers-by, and it is quite possible to choose one of these women in order to have paid sex.
In addition to this openly displayed prostitution, there are other places related to sex in the Red Light District. There are sex shops, theaters with sex shows, strip clubs, a museum of prostitution, and a museum of eroticism that brings together a collection of erotic objects as well as paintings, sculptures and drawings.
Prostitution is still central to the Red Light District today… But the place remains surprisingly safe. Many police officers roam around day and night, because it is primarily a tourist area.
