The reviews seem to be split on whether you should visit the RLD or not. If you are easily offended or feel that there is something unethical with prostitution then the RLD is probably not for you. I personally found the RLD facinating. I went with my husband and a couple of friends and we visited the RLD twice during... more

We had an absolute BLAST walking through the red light district. We rode through during the day on our bike tour (Mike's Bikes, we recommend them highly!) and went back at night. Food is hard to find after 10PM but we found a little French restaurant across from the Waag that had a great Steak au Poivre and yummy fondue.... more

I had imagined the RLD of Amsterdam to be big, brash and obvious. In reality it took us ages to even find the place! The ladies look fed-up in their windows, there are less sex shops than in Soho and it all ends up looking rather sad and boring. more

Once an area like this has been turned into a tourist destination, it loses a lot of what I'm sure was a more dangerous edge, which is a good thing for the tourists. The area didn't seem as derelict or trashy as some red light districts I've seen, namely the Reeperbahn, and the girls in the windows were certainly something... more

As a seasoned visitor to Amsterdam I am often put off that it's reputation is sullied by an area covering a 5 block radius. Amsterdam has so much more to offer than this and the fact that this area gets so much attention is irkesome to me. There are more museums in Amsterdam in a small area than any other... more

On our most recent trip (last week) through the RLD we found the streets to be full of drug addicts and/or pushy drug dealers who looked like they were targeting tourists. We were harassed by dealers... more

Me and some friends went to Amsterdam about a year ago the first time. It was really a lot of fun to see everything like it is. Later we went to a striptease bar and it was also not that expensive and a lot of fun!!! when visiting amsterdam, it is a MUST to see it!!! I even went a... more

It was a show I must say. Some sexy girls yet I was a bit surprised at some of them especially those that were old and fat. Yeah I would recommend a visit to the Red Light District to anyone visiting Amsterdam to take a walk on the wild side. The funny thing is I thought the area would look... more

My boyfriend and i love the RLD in Amsterdam, we love it so much that we are in fact off there again next month for 3 nights, I dont know how anybody cant enjot themselves in a lively fun place like that, there is one thing that everyone says about the RLD and i have to say it is true,... more
