🏛️ Location and Description

Characteristics: It's the oldest and largest of Amsterdam's red-light districts. It's characterized by its canals, narrow alleyways, and historic buildings, and at its center stands the historic Oude Kerk church.

Distinctive Feature: It's famous for its small windows illuminated by bright red light, where sex workers (a legal and regulated profession in the Netherlands) stand to offer their services. This is where the name "Red Street" or "Red Light District" comes from.

📜 History and Law

History: The district dates back to the Middle Ages, when it was located near the port. Over the centuries, it developed into a red-light district.

Brothels and windows: These are its most famous feature. There are also theaters and entertainment venues for adults (requires a minimum age of 18).

📸 Visiting Guidelines and Tips

Photography Prohibited: It is strictly forbidden to photograph the shopkeepers at the windows or in their work areas. Violators will be dealt with seriously, and their phones or cameras may be confiscated or damaged. The privacy of the shopkeepers and the area must be respected.
