Amsterdam Red Light District Walking Tour FAQs

What is the history of Amsterdam's Red Light District?

    Amsterdam's Red Light District, also known as De Wallen, has a long and complex history dating back to the 14th century. The area was originally located outside of the city walls and was home to various industries such as shipbuilding, carpentry, and beer brewing. As the city grew, so did the number of sailors and merchants visiting Amsterdam, and prostitution became a part of the area's economy.

    In the 16th century, Amsterdam became a major port and the Red Light District grew rapidly, with brothels and other sex-related businesses becoming commonplace. During the 18th century, brothels became regulated by the government and in the 19th century, prostitution was officially legalized, leading to the establishment of licensed brothels.

    Today, the Red Light District is a popular tourist destination, known for its famous red-lit windows where sex workers offer their services. The area is also home to coffee shops, bars, and restaurants, and it remains a significant part of Amsterdam's cultural heritage.
