Canal Boat Tours: Canal Cruise
  • Tip Rating:
  • Definitely take a canal boat cruise, very nice change of pace, slow and leisurely.
    Unique view of the city and a way to get great photos, weather permitting-of course:)!

    Directions: The tours that depart near Central Station are generally more crowded. Go for the ones farther out in the city, they tend to be more comfortable with less people so you can get better photos.

    Red Light District / De Wallen XXX: Red Light District
  • Tip Rating:
  • Amsterdam Red Light District / De Wallen  XXX
  • Dick Fountain, Casa Roso
  • by BlueBerry_7
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • Take a walk through the infamous Red Light Distict. Even if you are not looking for a lady to sample, it is a trip to see!!

    If however you have indeed come to revel in all the seediness, there's no better time to appreciate the Red Light District than at night. Though prostitutes work all through the day, it's at night that the streets actually take on a red radiance. The main streets get so thick with people you can hardly walk.

    There are live sex shows in which actors perform choreographed fantasies on stage and audience members can participate on a volunteer basis. The most famous live sex show takes place at Casa Rosso, where 25 euros will buy you admission.

    China Town: Street Scene
