The World Famous Red Light District of Amsterdam
The main red light district in Amsterdam is known as De Wallen or, simply, ‘The Wall’ and has been a major part of the city centre make up since as far back as the early 13th century.
This nickname refers to the fact that the original site of Amsterdam was fortified by large earth walls.
As the city has grown, the original site continued to be referred to as The Wall and, because of the links with prostitution, the phrase has become a euphemism when paying for sex.
Sprawling out from the original location of the docks, De Wallen is a network of small passageways and alleys connecting the two main streets of Oudezijds Voorburgwal and Oudezijds Achterburgwal which run alongside the canals.
The many buildings and houses in the area have a long history of associations with the city’s trading and religious past with former merchant houses and monasteries now being part of the window brothel trade.
Blood Street (Bloedstraat) and Monk Street (Monnikenstraat) for instance were so called due to the number of Franciscan monks who lived there and being the site of a blood (torture) chamber of a former monastery.
Throughout the history of the city, including times of religious fervency and social prudence, sex in the city has always been tolerated and even ‘winked at’; the trade went on with full public knowledge but as long as it occurred in De Wallen without attracting attention the city’s residents didn’t mind.
More recently Project 1012 has seen the government begin a clean-up of the seedier aspects of Amsterdam’s red light district. A crackdown on organised crime, and efforts to support victims of human trafficking, has seen the city council reconsider how De Wallen will look moving forward.
Window Shopping Begins
The characteristic window hookers began to appear in the early 20th century. ‘Street daisies’ (or hookers) began to use a quirk in the law which prevented them from approaching customers by using their windows as a way of advertising.
As long as the curtains were drawn (or enticingly half drawn), the girls could give a fabulous preview of what they were offering without breaking any public decency or solicitation laws and the art of window shopping was born.
The Origins of Red Light Amsterdam
It’s unclear why it is exactly that red lights have become an international symbol of prostitution.
Some believe that the practice derives from the lamps carried by railway workers being left outside a brothel whilst others believe the term comes from the use of red lights by prostitutes to illuminate their chambers.
The claim goes that the red lanterns would conceal blemishes and signs of disease better than natural light. Some believe that the term refers to red Chinese paper lanterns or the drawing of a red line around districts that were known for their association with the sex trade.
Whatever its origin, Amsterdam embraces the tradition of the red light and De Wallen area is characterised by the window brothels which still use red lights to signify their trade (as if a half-naked prostitute leaning up against the window isn’t sign enough!).
Blue lights are used to signify shemales and transsexuals.
Local Prostitution Laws: From Tolerance to Legalisation
Despite its reputation for being the world capital of the sex industry, prostitution has only recently been legalised in modern day Amsterdam.
Prior to a change in the law in 2000, it was illegal to operate a brothel but being a prostitute was legal. The way in which this quirk was gotten around lead to the rise of single cabin window ‘brothels’ and private houses.
By remaining independent and renting space for one, window girls could legally operate as they were not technically plying their trade publicly but being approached in a private way. Of course, the reality of this is far from the truth but the city authorities tolerated the practice of sex tourism.
In fact, the broad policy of ‘complicit ignorance’ towards prostitution in the city allowed many brothels to continue trading by defining themselves as ‘private sex clubs’ or ‘private houses’.
The changes in 2000 were brought about largely to protect workers in the trade and to prevent trafficking and other illegal activities which had become associated with this liberal policy of ‘overlooking’ the industry.
Of course, legalising the trade also meant instituting greater control of taxation and regulating finances.
As a result, several of the more famous venues in Amsterdam were closed due to links with criminal dealings and accounting ‘anomalies’; Jan Bik and Yab Yum being the two most famous causalities of the act.
Today, prostitution is fully legal but all brothels and independent prostitutes must hold a state license to operate with the minimum legal age for prostitutes now being 21.
The authorities continue to provide protection for its sex workers in the form of 24-hour surveillance on the city streets and offering full police assistance. Frequent health monitoring and testing of professional standards are all ways in which the industry is being regulated.
Sex Tourism in Amsterdam
As a result of the historic tolerance and liberal mindedness towards the sex industry by the Dutch in general, Amsterdam has thrived as a tourist destination for people looking to sample what the city has to offer.
Sex services are on offer throughout the city and not just in De Wallen and, unlike many red-light areas, the types of activity are not just restricted to stripping and prostitution.
The city recognises its rich and colourful history with the sex trade and there is a large number of museums, cafes and shops dedicated to preserving Amsterdam’s colourful past.
Tourists who come to the city will visit De Wallen whether they are actively looking for services or not as the area defines much of what Amsterdam is about. At any time of the day, the passageways will be full of tourists experiencing the voyeuristic delights of the red light spilling from windows.
However, for the sex tourist to the city there is a lot more to modern day Amsterdam than just the bright lights.
Types of Adult Services in Amsterdam
The city of sin has an abundance of ways to keep adults entertained from erotic sensual or kinky massage to a variety of ways to hire a prostitute. Saucy shows and museums dedicated to sex rub alongside BDSM venues and swinger’s clubs to bring an eclectic mix of all things naughty. In a city where anything is possible we take a look at some of the ways you can make your dreams come true.
Window Girls
A must-see feature of the city, if not an essential experience of street prostitution in Amsterdam, the window girls of the red-light district are unique to the area. Though it is a very public way to conduct business, it is unlikely that you will draw any negative attention but it is not an activity that guys who want anonymity will enjoy.
Customers can pay around €50 for a quick 30 minutes (by quick, we mean that includes getting undressed, showered and with an elastic view on time) with one of the girls but the pleasure is very much in the process of window shopping, doing some negotiating and catching the admiring glances of guys who are too shy to follow your example.
Mostly found in De Wallen or the smaller red light areas of De Pjip, Singelgebied and Ruysdaelkade, there are around 300 window cabins around Amsterdam, mostly occupied from around 4pm through to the very early hours.
Amsterdam Brothels & Private Houses
The brothels of Amsterdam are also known as private houses (or ‘privehuizen’) and vary in size from those that have just a handful of girls working to larger venues with up to 40 girls registered.
Historically, most of these houses have been located outside of the central De Wallen area and, as such, offer a good degree of privacy and discretion (compared to the more public negotiations with window girls).
With as many as 2000 prostitutes in Amsterdam, many working independently as window girls or escorts there are still a good number of working girls to help you experience a traditional Amsterdam welcome.
We’ve put together our guide on some of the best Amsterdam brothels to help make your decision easier.
Are Brothels Legal?
Yes.
Since 2000, sex work in brothels has become fully legal in the City of Amsterdam but, as such, now requires brothels (and independent prostitutes not working from home) to hold a license. In addition, the minimum legal age for prostitutes was raised from 18 to 21.
Following some of the changes, the city has tried to regulate more and more of the industry which has resulted in a decline in the number of brothels including the world famous Yab Yum and Jan Bik.
However, there are still a good number of private houses and brothels offering a first-class service in the city but first we take a look at the etiquette for visiting a brothel in Amsterdam.
Visiting an Amsterdam Brothel: Best Practices
There are two types of brothel in Amsterdam; the private house and the sex club. Though both offer the in-house services of prostitutes, they are each a very different kind of establishment.
Simply, a private house tends to be smaller and operates a discreet service where clients are shown to a private waiting area on arrival. Once settled they can leisurely peruse the ‘menu’ and receive a line up of available girls. Though most private houses do not have bars as such, they will usually serve drinks during this selection process as well as room service. The privacy is maintained as you are escorted to and from your room by a host who keeps the corridors free of other clients.
Sex clubs on the other hand are more like big city gentleman’s clubs and often have large lounges and bars where customers can soak up the atmosphere of music and entertainment before selecting from a service. Some sex clubs specialise in particular areas such as swinging, fetish or provide other services as well as, or instead of, intercourse.

With new performers every 10-15 minutes, the sexual poses and acts viewable from the main cabins aren’t as explicit as those you can see from the private cabins where customers can give the performers instructions. Though the content will never be as hardcore as online pornography (to which peep shows are the precursor), the act of spying on someone live in this way is hard to compete with.
Fully air-conditioned, the Sex Palace has the air and feel of an Amsterdam from days gone by and is a really retro venue that must be experienced.
You can get a tour of the venue if you are interested in the history and a behind the scenes look but it’s worth visiting…if you can get in.

The Amsterdam Escorts Guide
Need to find an escort in Amsterdam?
Working girls in Amsterdam are as synonymous with the city of sin as the coffee shops so there are plenty to choose from. Not everyone is comfortable with the public nature of using the window girls and would prefer a more discreet hotel room service. However, because there are so many services operating in the city, it can sometimes be difficult to find the best fit for your needs.
In our essential guide to the escort services of Amsterdam, we take a look at those legal agencies that have high levels of customer satisfaction as well as some more traditional ways to find an escort.
