Red Light District
The Red Light District (or "Rossebuurt" as called by local people) leave little room for imagination, the name stems from the neon lights of the windows where prostitutes pose in expectation of the customers.
The case of appointment to the locations of striptease and lap-dance, from gay bars to cinema, shops hardcore video of the sexy-shop, to get to the museum: a true Disneyland of sex always crowded with tourists.
In town there are 3 Red Light Districts: Walletjes area (the most famous and popular in the streets between Central Station and Nieuwmarkt), the area in Singel (between Raadhuistraat and the Central Station) and the district Pijp (near the Rijksmuseum).
It would be better for everyone to use common sense as in any big city: Do not photograph the prostitutes and not get involved in conversations with drug dealers (who will only sell crap).
Recommendations:
- Forbidden to take photos to showcase and girls in the neighborhood! Do not do it or you can end up in trouble with the film seized. A good connoisseur.
- Beware of pickpockets and thieves. This is a very crowded.
- If your morals can be offended by this type of entertainment, do not visit this area.
Therefore you should not visit the district alone, especially at night.
The whole area has a strong police presence, and many security cameras.
The street prostitution is illegal, so the women tourists are not automatically taken to prostitutes.
