Secrets of the Red Light District
Description:
Informal evening tour of the most sultry area of the city
Walk through the legendary quarter
At a relaxed pace, you will walk around the Red Light District and join the crowd of tourists from all over the world on its main avenue, where the iconic Casso Rosso Theater, numerous strip cafes and brothels, marijuana and sex museums are located.
You will learn how and why the Red Light District appeared on the old square near the main church of Oude kerk and see two original monuments located on it. I will speak in an accessible and sensitive way about the piquant aspects of the local green life and try to dispel a huge number of myths and misconceptions associated with it.
Getting to know coffeeshops and smartshops
Walking along the narrowest street in Amsterdam, you will plunge into the world of smart shops and coffee shops. Their concentration in the Red Light District is the highest in the city. I will be happy to help beginners understand this unusual world and give you the addresses of the right places to buy Amsterdam "desserts", for the use of which can be punished at home, but not in the tolerant Dutch capital. Perhaps you will pass from theory to practice and taste the “pipe of peace” under my careful supervision.
A fascinating walk will culminate in one of the city's traditional brown cafes. Over a glass of Amsterdam’s most beloved drink, I will answer your questions and advise you where you can continue the evening.
