Everyone needs to experience this at least once! Sunset (about 9pm in April) is when the party really gets going. If you get there early you can grab a seat at a cafe wand watch the party unfold around you. Similar to a Marti Gras atmosphere but unless you pay you're not seeing nudity.

I'm torn. On the one hand I would like to evaluate the neighborhood, on the other “experience”. Since I find the latter very interesting, I will enjoy reviewing it using deeply metaphorical language. Let’s start with the simple aspect: in the evening the neighborhood is really beautiful, quaint, unique, but a little disturbing. After all, it is unthinkable for us to expose the product in this way, so if you are not used to it after an initial note of amazement you will start to feel uncomfortable. There is a varied assortment, of a higher quality than I understood when I read about it on the Internet. Once you have chosen the shop, and it is not that simple, you just need to approach to talk to the innkeeper, who will immediately tell you if you are welcome or not. In my case the merchant was not very kind, on the other hand she was very busy offering me the packages on offer. Cheap Flights work: with 100€ you arrive at your destination, but if you want hand luggage you pay, if you want a chocolate bar you pay, if you want legroom you pay, and so on. Unlike the flight, however, you can also make an upgrade during construction. In my case the seller was quick, she was not very interested in the experience with the buyer. On the other hand, local NAS-proof. I went out with two piottes less and happy just to have lived the experience, but I would never do it again.

This area is definitely the beating heart of Amsterdam at night. There's so many people it might be hard to navigate around. We walked though this district maybe 2 or 3 times and during day and before dusk, it's just a normal touristy place with cute canals to take photos of. Reminder not to take any photos at night, it is beyond disrespectful.

My first trip to Amsterdam. We visited several bars in the Red Light District that were fun. Smoking cannabis seemed to be the done thing in the bars whereas smoking cigarettes is banned. People seemed to be chilled and everyone was friendly with us. The girls in the windows were dotted about around the area and it was interesting to see but it felt a bit seedy. Enjoyed the night out and would definitely return.

I understand it is one of the tourist attractions of Holland. The truth is quite picturesque (going at night of course) but generates mixed sensations. The girls are there of their own accord but they don't look very happy and sometimes even very boring. The atmosphere feels a bit "heavy" beyond that nothing happens.

The red light district is a must-see area. Very nice to visit, the narrow streets, and of course the windows. The streets are a little crowded, it's quite weird to see families visiting this place. Also to be done in the evening, different atmosphere. For those interested it is 50/60€ but said a degun mdrr

While in Amsterdam, take a scroll through the red light district. While it was full of tourists and cafes there were few red lights and girls in the windows as we walked through this area. If I were on a family visit, I probably would avoid this particular street/canal with children, as there are much nicer and less crowded areas to walk in Amsterdam.

So many people find this area fascinating. Me not so much. The girls are moving to another part of town, so you will find just a small number of the picture windows with working girls behind them. Instead you will find lots of bars, coffee houses with pot, and snack shops, all set up for wandering tipsy tourists. Very honky tonk and not very pretty.

Excellent guide. Very knowledgeable about the area, the history and the present time. Pace of walking around the area good with time allowed for checking out side alleys to see working girls.

Reputed area visited in the afternoon Little atmosphere Closed cafes Many closed display cases Some BEAUTIFUL LADIES! You can't see life in this neighborhood that attracts so many people The time was not right!
