What to expect

Amsterdam Red Light District

This guided walk shows you the Red Light District’s bright windows, tight backstreets, and how sex work and cannabis became part of everyday Amsterdam.

Features:

  • Red Light windows & backstreets: Walk past glowing windows and tucked-away lanes as your guide explains how sex work moved from shadowy backrooms to legal, unionized work—and how this changed the neighborhood’s streets forever.

  • Cassa Rosso peep show: Step into Cassa Rosso, Amsterdam’s oldest peep show, and find out how these live shows made the city’s adult scene famous worldwide, long before guidebooks caught up.

  • Smart shops & coffee shops: Visit Amsterdam’s first coffee shop and nearby smart shops. Learn how a tiny café selling cannabis changed the city’s image, politics, and travel scene for millions.
