Guided tour of the red light district - have time to see the hot spots of Amsterdam

Экскурсия по кварталу красных фонарей Individual tours in Amsterdam

Dutch laws on prostitution and drugs have been transformed in recent years very quickly and quite categorically. Prostitution is still legal.

The expectation of most tourists does not match the reality - red light district not an open-air museum, not a theatrical performance or a flash mob. There is much more "no" than "possible" here.
This area is now the safest place in Amsterdam. And once it was dangerous to come here even during the day. Over the past ten years, a lot has changed - there is no crime, den and debauchery. It is almost impossible to meet the sellers of hard drugs, And those who sell, rather, simply "bred" naive tourists and hand them a gram of powdered sugar, expensive sugar is obtained.

There are almost no coffee shops (establishments selling cannabis) in the Red Light District. And the more often proposals appear in the Dutch government to ban the sale of cannabis to tourists and stop the law on legalizing prostitution, the more people from all over the world come from all over the world who want to see this "nightmare" with their own eyes.

All the fault is not the sale of forbidden fruits itself, but a huge flow of tourists who want to simply see more often than take part. But when the stream of “just watching” turns into a turbulent river, it becomes dangerous. So the government of Amsterdam decided and the Red Lanterns area began to be zealously guarded not from prostitutes, pimps and drug dealers, but from tourists who “I'll just take a look, well, take a photo as much as possible”.

Yes, there are much more tourists than individual entrepreneurs selling their bodies ...
