    About
    This area in the oldest part of Amsterdam is known for the red neon windows that display barely-dressed prostitutes advertising their services; it's all perfectly acceptable as long as it stays inside this designated area of the city.

    It's something different, something that you cannot find on any other city - in Europe, at least. So, if you are in Amsterdam and you do not have the kids with you .. go after dark. It's crowded, good food (including cookies), live porn :)...More

    It is what it is

    Great to see to say you have seen it and you have been and I must say some of the best food as well. Lots of people doing what they enjoy

    Disappointing

    We had a walk around because we were in Amsterdam but it wasn’t half the experience we expected. I think it’s highly overrated with just a few windows with working girls sitting looking bored. We expected it to be a lot busier than it was...More

    Centrum
    Amsterdam’s buzzing hub, with its sprawling network of
    tram rails and a seemingly constant flow of tourists
    and commuters, yields convenient access to some of the
    best sightseeing, shopping, and street life in Europe.
    Closest at hand are the Royal Palace, the quaint shops
    of Haalremmerdijk, the pedestrianized zones
    Kalverstraat and Dam Square with popular neighborhoods
    such as the Red Light District, and the Canal Ring

    We stayed in the Exchange on Damark a 5 minute walk to the Red light District. Not as liberal as you so wouldn’t know about where to meet like minded couples but I’m sure there is a guide somewhere on the internet
