What you can expect

  • Join this walking tour to discover the Red Light District and Old Town of Amsterdam through the eyes of a local. Meet your guide and follow them to important sights, including Zeedijk Street, Chinatown, Nieuwmarkt Square, Cassa Rosso, and more.

    Walk through an old sailor area of Zeedijk Street and Amsterdam’s famous Chinatown, once an unsafe area that has transformed into a friendly environment. See sights like the In't Aepjen bar, crooked houses, and many Chinese stores.

    From Chinatown, continue to the Nieuwmarkt Square to see the Waag, originally a city gate and part of the walls of Amsterdam which is now a restaurant. Stop at one of the many market stalls for a quick snack, if you want.

    Next, walk to the centre of the Red Light District to witness prostitution windows, Cassa Rosso, peep shows, and Bananenbar. Learn about the significance and history of these places from your guide.

    Find out why prostitution was legalised and how the name “coffeeshop” was coined. Walk through the famous streets, learning about its culture and the current situation of the Red Light District.
